Yes, and therefor they are mostly ignored by us. They are simply to trivial. But if you look around since 1970 you can not ignore this kind of buildings. They are everywhere.
That is the reason why I picked them as the main theme for my layout. The next surprise pops up when you have a closer look. They are not all the same. There are thousands of details you can model to get "your" building.
Another aspect is the simplicity of the base structure. As you wrote they are boxes. You can build the base structure quite simple and than concentrate on the details. If you use card stock as I do it is a very cost efficient kind of models.
I felt in love with boxes
