I think introverts do not thrive in the environment you're describing.

Unfortunately introverts are not well represented in management or the types of people who make decisions about seating.

Also unfortunately, many (most?) software developers are introverts.

I'm an introvert. And a VPE. In the SF Bay Area.

I absolutely despise open office plans. I can't work in them.

My productivity shot an incredible amount as soon as I had no choice than to work from home in March, and everybody else in the office. Saved 2 hours a day. And I can use my own bathroom... that alone is worth it.
