I work in a very dense open plan, and it sucks, constant distraction. Also very brightly lit with flourescent, which I hate also. Of course any office is going to have big flourescent tubes, but at my last job it was left very dim, and I brought in my own halogen lamp for my cube which was a huge improvement. My office now has all glass walls in skyscraper so it has tons of light, I wish they would just turn off the lights during the day.

^^ I don't think I've ever seen a pic of a UK office that wasn't open plan, it seems to be super trendy and the way to look modern and smart.

It's probably because they take up more room, cost more than cubes/open plan and there probably obstacles with a company leasing a space doing all kinds of construction. Not saying it's totally impossible but that is a lot of inertia to overcome vs "whiny devs just wish they had an office".
