I'm pretty sure that a bigger factor in why secure facilities have limitations on windows (and especially on ground floor windows) is physical security.
Not really. Non-operator windows do not degrade physical security that much, or really at all if they are not accessible from the ground. It is primarily danger of surveillance that drives the lack of windows.
In the brave new world that's being built, the entire population (most of it) doesn't get to have true confidentiality if somebody is sufficiently interested in them.
Well, windowless bathrooms are not uncommon. And most modern construction has walk-in closets, which typically lack windows. Even so, a source of white noise is always prudent.
