Can we change the title to a non clickbaity one?

An opinion piece written as recruiting/marketing at the same time.

I've never found open layouts distracting. I don't even use headphones - just focus on the work hard enough that everything else blurs into the background.

Is there any evidence this is the case? All I see is a quote from the WSJ about people being concerned about it. Also, why would Apple, a company that loves keeping projects under tight wrap, use an open office plan?

The bench style layout is awful in general.
