There are several thought factors at play with open floor plans. They may or may not be fully valid, but they are why some people like them.

Open floor plans increase interpersonal interaction. The ability for anyone to be able to provide input into anything is "good". Collaboration, crowd sourcing, open source development, DevOps all benefit when more people are involved. If you throw everyone into a room where they can see and hear everything, you get the best ideas from everyone and quality or productivity must improve.

until you have 90% of people wearing headphones to cut out/drown out the chatter.

Or you have to start installing "white noise generators" to drown out the noise (it's amazing how much the stress level drops in the eveing when they shut off)
