they would have done better with just a gigantic poster of ferris bueller in a towel.

You are a marketing genius!

But also, I think it's just a trend in the U.S. For a while there, and kinda still, warehouse stores are in style; I think because of the reputation for good deals from places like Costco and Ikea, I think other companies thought if they pretend to be a bit of a warehouse people will think they're getting low prices because money was saved on decor. 'Muricans are easy to fool this way.

IKEA does this trick with the furniture they sell you. You think you're getting a wooden desk, but really it's two sheets of super thin wood glued into a cardboard box, or some foam.
