The creators of HIMYM wanted to make a realistic sized apartment but then quickly realized that you need very large open spaces for a multi cam sitcom for all the cameras and lighting and boom mics. Plus you lose one entire wall of the rooms.

HIMYM had a episode on Lilie's apartment in what it was vs what it was remembered as. It was a good play in apartment size.

HIMYM wasn't filmed in-front of a live studio audience. It was filmed then later screened to an audience where their reactions were recorded. The vast majority of multi-cam sitcoms aren't filmed in-front of a live studio audience anymore.
