It's about money. It was always about money, the collaboration thing is just a veil.
Companies will always invent "happy vocabulary" to justify whatever it is that is in their interest to do.
If they could pack their employees into little cardboard human boxes all separate from each other they would say "Our environment encourages strong focus and solitude."
You can put a positive spin on anything.

Development output isn't easily measurable. What's easily measurable though is people sitting in a chair and pretending to "work".
