With our patented DeepWorkDisturber(TM) algorithm we'll make sure you never concentrate again!

This is very important because how does your manager know the organisation is running at maximum throughput? A: By making sure they are busy with constant trivial interactions!

Not sure you want to interact? We even detect those tentative, might-be-waves and connect you right through, because we'd hate for you to miss on a possible interaction! PLEASE SOMEONE TALK TO ME I'M SO LONELY AND I CANT STAND BEING IN MY OWN HEAD. Anything for more interactions.

Destroyed your attention span with TikTok and social media? Well you can ruin everyone elses too with your constant, incessant waving to get everyones attention every time you have the tinyest thought, because you're a special snowflake and every single trivial spark of thought needs to be broadcast to everyone all the time. HAHA PRODUCTIVITY!

Its difficult to learn how to do work effectivly, and all of those tools you have to learn are complex. If you have to Google something : that involves sooooo much reading! Skip all that and go straight to someone else. Who cares what they are doing just wave and interrupt!

Without going into detail, you described everything as a spherical cow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_cow In fact, in addition to Do Not Disturb mode and room locking, which you can turn on at any time, you can simply agree with your colleagues so that you are not interrupted by trifles.
If your perceptions dared venture beyond the literal immediate you would see this is tongue in cheek satire.

Your solution is "just turn it off when you dont want it" - well, I NEVER want it
