Standing showers are becoming pretty much norm at various price levels. For whatever reasons developers and or landlords have determined people don't want bathtubs anymore.
OTOH you have to remember this building was built as a hotel many years ago, as such floor plate (how things are laid out) is what it is. There may not have been room for anything else but a walk in shower.
As for "tiny stove and kitchen", again this was a hotel and rooms may not have had any sort of kitchen facilities previously.
Non-profit who got this hotel and did the rehab work turning it into supportive housing knew from start what things were going to be. As such units likely are consistent to some extent throughout in keeping with "inclusion" and "equality". That is both supportive and whatever else housing is similar for ease in placing residents.
IIRC this building only has comparatively small number of not supportive housing. While it was possible to make latter units more upscale with better kitchens, floorplans, etc... that's hardly being inclusive.
