Afaik, most windows in newer, high-density commercial buildings are non-functional.
It's difficult to design a large window, that will also open, that also insulates sufficiently to hit modern energy efficiency certifications.

YMMV, but I live in Seattle, where there has been a residential boom with plenty of towers, and I have never seen a residential apartment with non-functional windows. Every room will have at least one that can open (though for efficiency reasons they're usually casement windows, which are annoying in their own right)
