Have you ever been to Argentina?
Window shopping has been elevated to a fine art there. While living in Buenos Aires, my daughter and I observed many people standing outside, gazing fixedly into the windows of stores.
It turns out that all the stores are locked against 'invasion robbers' and you must get the proprietor to let you in. If you don't buy anything, they call the police. Therefore, people 'shop' earnestly through the windows, and when they're SURE they want to put money on something, they signal to be let into the store.

You are correct, during the Depression of the 1930's that was a way to spend some time, daydreaming about having the stuff in the windows of stores, even looking through catalogs was considered window shopping, now it's looking at stuff in store windows, but also, going into stores and just looking at stuff without buying
