To an American, they see a detached tower or block building and to them it looks like an office park or another "urban-renewal" type building with huge setbacks from the street that replaced previously-crowded city blocks.
It comes down to a difference in culture experience, really.
Some would just rather retvrn to urban canyons right up against the street than to build yet another Radiant City- inspired development.
