I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that some people are introverts, and that those people work best when they're nobody around them. Also programming requires a minimum of focus, I might not consider programming a hard, highly intellectual task, but personally I'm very easily distracted. I also have a very hard time concentrating at something properly if I can sense I'm watched or analyzed. Maybe it has something to do with how people want team interaction. You could ask teams to meet at least twice a day, and they might prefer having their own office. The best way, I think, would be to always workers if they either prefer to have their own small office or to work in a open space. To me, the best is to use my laptop in a empty park, with or without internet access, preferably without. I just download any documentation, some article or tutorial, eventually some wikipedia offline browser, and I'm able to concentrate.
