I would imagine that you can think more towards the traditional desk

I think that's a very good summary of todays executive environment.

For years I used an "executive desk" that was 36x72. My experience
convinced me that 36" is too deep. I could have used the space provided
by a 30" or 32" by 80" much better.

I think it depends on what you do at the desk...

I had a real estate office and my desk was 38" deep...
It was picked because it was the only desk that I'd ever seen with a 12"
overhang on the "client" side of the desk, so when clients read or signed papers
they didn't have to sit side saddle to do it..

I had a workstation at a right angle to the desk with computer, printer, etc...
That evolved to a laptop/notebook and "docking station" for a real keyboard,
monitor, etc...
If we would have wireless then, the printer and stuff would have been in the
hallway with the copier...
All we had then was a "sneaker net"... hope not too many of ya'll are old enough
to know what that was... lol
