Other subvariations of the Closed Ruy Lopez can lead to a similar pawn structure, such as the Chigorin Defense in the famous game below.

Or the Smyslov Defense, see this game where White resigned with a full board.

For an aggresive player, like me, open positions have more advantage to me. Because you can create a very big push when the position is open. But if it's closed, you have to find a way to open up a void in the king or queenside.
To sum up, I like open positions but close positions are not bad too.

The King's Indian can be quite closed too, e.g.

Here they do: 4 e4, 6...e5.

Sometimes "Ruy Lopez: Closed, Keres Defense" can lead to closed middlegame. If you can't break the wall, you'll see a closed endgame.
This is what I call breaking the wall:

Black got timeout, but, the position is a little bit up for white.
