Pair programming should be optional and for whoever wants to get team members (especially juniors) up to speed and on the same page. It could be very productive but like all methods/tools that are shoved down everyone's throat and forced to apply them, I could see them being a disaster.

I generally enjoy pair programming when utilized occasionally and as needed, but mandatory pairing is just horrible.

Each tool has its use case. Forced use results in misuse.
