Technically yes, but it feels very different to an open office with 50 people in it. <=10 is small enough that everyone is able to respect each others' privacy, noise, etc while still enjoying some of the benefits of an open office such as turn-your-chair-around collaboration. I think we need a new term for when <=10 people are in an open office. It just isn't the same as what is usually referred to when someone says "open office".

It is exactly what people are referring to when they say 'open office'. What we need is a word for offices with 50 people in them.

Those have historically been called "bullpen offices".

It really isn't. Most people are thinking of this: https://blog.nuclino.com/files/9f08086a-9bde-4d95-929a-f7f2c...

No, open offices resemble sweatshops, 50+ people per floor with no doors, privacy, or noise barriers.
