“Failing them” might be a tad harsh.
At our house my kids have their own rooms but I wouldn’t consider it the end of the world if they didn’t. I know of lots of families whose kids share a room so it’s not as if it’s a rarity.
When houses in my area were being built they generally offered floor plan option of either 1 primary bedroom with an ensuite, two bedrooms and a bathroom or 2 primary bedrooms each with their own ensuite. While the market value would be lower on the latter option I don’t think I’d consider it much of a downgrade if I had a home with the latter option and my kids had to share a much larger bedroom with a walk-in closet and an ensuite bathroom. I certainly wouldn’t consider that to be “failing them”.
