It sounds great to me. I travel regularly for work, and when doing so I work and sleep with no social life. I get as much work done as possible and then I go back to my house and family. I don’t need a big room or anything really, because I’m just there for work. They obviously don’t fit every use case.
I definitely shouldn’t have to pay more for a hotel because other people are claustrophobic. And the fire thing is a red herring, in a modern city there are fire codes and inspections - presumably this is very regulated. You’re almost certainly less safe staying in an unregulated air bnb, people have died in airbnb fires.

Have you read the article? it doesn't focus on travellers, it focuses on workers returning to the city after work from home is disallowed. It's ok to have budget accomodations for travellers, and I can see capsules being more private than a hostel, but this article could be easily reframed as 'people working in london can't afford basic living space in the city, yet businesses are forcing them into the city'. This is not something to glorify in a lifestyle column.
