Most of the time they either have their own office, or work from home. Thus not feeling the pain of the open floorplan setup.

You’re missing the point. It’s that the type of work they do does not require hours of deep focus. They’re doing things like having calls, sending emails, and making PowerPoints. All of that are things that happen in short bursts and aren’t affected by lack of prolonged focus.
If there’s one thing people on HN need to realize about this topic, it’s that not everyone has the same type of job and therefore the impact of RTO is very different depending on the job.
The people making the decisions don’t have jobs that require this level of focus, and can’t even imagine what a job like that is like (or at worst, they just want the geeks to stop complaining and deal with it, because if you really were that smart you’d be the boss making the decisions).
