This is happening even in sleeper train designs too: instead of a coupe with 2 sofas with a table in the middle and 2 (or 4) folding berths above them, you're getting non-convertible suitcase to throw your body in, and lay down all the way, probably looking into a phone. No serious window, no sitting at a table, no standing upright.
Plus, for some reason all the stuff is really thick. Like earlier there were cases for bags under the sofa, with wall made a sheet of steel. Now they're desinging them like 4 cm (2") thick, probably of cardboard, and they just eat space (because train cars have no place to expand, they've been at max widths already).
I have to add that a berth with a rectangular wall behind to lean against, is a torture for anyone's spine -- whether for lower back or for the neck.
