The real truth is cheapass construction goals. Straight lines and few details are easy enough for less skilled labor to complete and it is easier to hide imperfections when there are fewer details.

The real truth is cost. To be able to afford to have this built, would cost a lot more than it did back then. Cost of living has become so high and you have to pay construction workers a living wage.

The real truth is ghosts. Ghosts have gotten lazy and don't like haunting places with complicated floor plans.

The real truth is ghosts caused 911 because jet fuel can’t melt steel beams with help from a ghost
