Parable of the Apartment

Once there’s an apartment with 880 million rooms. Every one of the room door is made out of transparent plastic in which everyone can see the room inside. This has been used by some tenants living there to look at their roommate’s in their room as an easy way to help each other (they almost never eavesdrop, as they say).

Recently, the landlord (which had a record of seemingly unable to manage the apartment) had decided to replace all the room doors with an opaque wood one for “mitigating violations of privacy”. This annoyed some tenants who uses them regularly for good, and they put the blame up to the landlord. However, most tenants seem indifferent about it and assumed that it’s a good decision for their own privacy.

Those anti-landlord tenants focus more on their rights (which are reportedly getting worse), rather than their own privacy. They said that this change justifies that the landlord is being ignorant and doesn't care about individual tenants. They also said that they're not aware of malice being done by this vulnerability; even if they do, it's ineffective doing it on the apartment and they would rather do it outside, and in fact they gave reasons why this is a good thing to be left unchanged. Say some tenant lost their room key and they can't see their rooms anymore. If the door is opaque, all hope is lost on at least seeing their rooms. They could ask the landlord; alas the landlord is known to be very slow and inconsistent on responding their tenant's requests.

Question: Is it worth the effort of the landlord? Would leaving the doors actually benefit the tenants living there?
