"Natural light" is one of the motivating reasons for open-plan offices, so practical artificial windows could help reverse that trend.


I struggle to believe that this is the case. Many offices are massive single rooms in buildings with large floor plates and often meeting rooms may end up placed around the edge. So in practice I think big open offices (and the desire to have everyone close in one room) tend to lead towards not getting much natural light, but of course if you put smaller offices or cubicles in that space they’d get even less light.
