We hear stories of sailors surviving ships sinking due to being inside compartments filled with air. Why can’t we just build ships with compartments designed to do this in case of sinking?

The result of this would be that you die slowly, over many hours, from carbon dioxide poisoning as the air runs out in your nice watertight sealed space, rather than drowning. I’m not sure it’s an improvement. Also, if you’re able to make it to this sealed space, why were you unable to make it to a lifeboat so you actually had a reasonable chance of survival?
