For some reason this makes me feel more claustrophobic than having no window

Their logic was that ticker walls are less likely to collapse. Which is broadly correct and good enough for back in the day

Churches used to double as forts in olden times.

It’s lack of engineering progress at the time. Before Gothic architecture came along and made huge windows in thinner walls possible with buttresses to reinforce them, all they had to provide enough strength was huge thick walls. If you look up Romanesque churches it’s all thick walls and tiny windows.
