Most modern architecture is just garbage, but only because the architects are held hostage by what developers aka capitalism dictates.

Capitalism doesn't dictate floor heights. Under capitalism, supply and demand determines prices: if people were keen to pay for 12' or 15' ceilings, developers would be climbing all over each other trying to offer them. However, most people are not willing to pay the incremental cost of those high ceilings. Don't blame capitalism for that, capitalism has plenty of real problems without assigning it blame for things that it's not responsible for.
