What confusese is that anytime the open-office concept is mentioned it seems that nearly nobody is in favor of it, yet that is the model employed by most coworking spaces. I can't imagine trying to actually be productive in most of those environments.

I know from experience that I can't, and that's one reason why things like WeWork would not be something that I'd consider. I wouldn't even take a position with a company that uses an open office plan.
But there are apparently a large enough number of people who find that sort of thing tolerable that a business catering to them appears viable.
