Buying high wall cubicles or paying for a construction company to build out offices is still buying something to be productive.

By 'people', it is pretty clear they meant employees, not the company.

I would assume most people are expensing noise cancelling headphones or writing them off. It's not an item the employee would be expected to cover, so its still cheaper for the company to do this than build outs.
