ELI5: Why are homes these days built with less rooms and more empty space inside?

I'm noticing a trend with new housing these days where the inside is more spacious and there are less rooms overall, compared to a same-sized house built 20-30 years ago. For example, I toured a recently built house where the living room was 60% of the total square feet of the first floor. Do people actually favor this type of home design these days?
