Then you haven't been reading much. I've seen tons of objections to cubicles, some anecdotal and some based on scientific evidence such as noise levels and interruptions from people walking by and chatting disrupting flow. Even the guy that invented the cubicle hates it. His original idea was for a workstation where you could do some work standing, some sitting, use 3d space and not just 2d. I think we can all see how far from the original concept we have come. My objection to cubicles comes down to 2 things: Can't control lighting (and offices always have those wretched overhead fluorescents) and there's always that disconcerting feeling someone is standing there staring at you when you essentially have your back to the whole room.
