"In this context it doesn't work as well, anyway, because senior leaders are in meetings so often that their desk is fairly meaningless."
So why do they still have huge window offices? They could lead by example and give up those.

My experience was that everyone, including the CEO, was in an open office (40+ person startup, 800+ person growth company). But that it didn't really matter all that much because leadership (senior or not) was barely at their desk anyway.
I do agree that if senior leadership wants an open office plan, they should commit to working in such an environment with their teams.
VPs and line managers are open like the rest of the employees. And they spend a lot of their time in other meeting spaces.
