A genuine cubicle like that would be a luxury

I don't know. My first job was in a cubicle and it was in the middle of a large floor. There wasn't any natural light and the cubicles spread in all directions for what felt like forever. Like, its nice to have your personal space but it sucks to have the hours blend together because you're in a liminal space where you can't tell if you're alive or dead.

There are plenty of open plan offices with no natural light either - it's really a function of how big the floor is whether light can reach to the middle of it (without a lightwell or something)

True. It all depends. That's no better.

The open floors that I've experienced typically have a long tables parallel to the window where everyone is crammed into, with meeting rooms towards the inside of the building.
