Non-noisy open-offices on the other hand are very useful.
Again, just because you don't like open doesn't mean nobody does, or that in non-US countries an open office necessarily means lots of noise.

Again, it isn't a question of like, it is a question of productivity. Open offices lower productivity, even for those people who like them. When I mention "read peopleware" I mean "read peopleware", not "repeat the same statement that was already addressed".
No, it is perfectly fair and accurate. You can still collaborate just fine without an open office. Read peopleware, noisy open offices are detrimental to productivity, even for the people who claim to like them and "need" them.
