It’s possible but to your point it would’ve made for a strange corner condition, which would’ve also created a strange condition for the glazing that would eventually cover it. It’s also possible that the angle wouldn’t have been enough for the shear factor of the node where the column meets the shear wall, so the angling of the shear wall would’ve need to continue down more in a shallower/steeper angle.
A good recent example that shows walking through stepping and angling of the column is actually at 8 Carlisle.
