Do beams, pipes, wiring and AC ducts between floors want windows? Buildings can have floor-to-ceiling windows but still have non-glass facades between floors and between offices, apartment rooms, etc. A thoughtful architecture can always find a solution to what others view as a problem. That's why they get paid to do their jobs.
One of my favorite buildings in Los Angeles has floor-to-ceiling windows, but isn't all glass. The architect solved the problem!
