Better question is "if it was common"

If I recall, these angled sorts of desks were used mostly by monastic orders, or other outfits of some affluence who copied books.
Though, once the printing press came around, most of them said 'forget about this copying shit'.

This is speculation on my part, but I imagine that the flat desk is more utilitarian (easier to count money on, or do other work like cobbling and such I'd imagine), and the angled desk, which I'm not sure if it would be more expensive or not, seems more specialized for writing, so most common folk wouldn't prefer it.
