Isn't the same thing true about working in an office? Certain personality types thrive while others suffer.

I agree, and I don't see a problem with it.

offices are just optimizing for the loudest and more social people, this is a consequence of managers tending to be like that, I don't think that approach is useful for general policies neither.
The problem with “difficult but not impossible” is that it requires special personality types to handle it.
Some people can do it, but now you have a secondary problem in that you need to find a way to filter those people in the hiring pipeline. You also have a risk of hiring people who can’t handle it and having to cut them and re-hire.
This is why most “difficult but not impossible” conditions are reserved for special exceptions but aren’t useful for general policies.
