Yea, I'm not sold on the productivity thing either, at least not on an individual contributor level when everything is going perfectly. But high turnover and/or low headcount in the senior engineering ranks can really send your team/company productivity right down the drain.

And I'm sure better than half of slack messages at my company are between people sitting in the same room.
