The culture of the company has to match the culture of the space. If focus is important it needs to be in the physical design of the space and the culture it supports.
I don't know if newsrooms started open concept but they had it easily for a long time.
As a design, "open concept" in part was less construction costs and more profit for the lease.
Of course, it is pushed as being open/collaborative/innovative. It was an innovative way to openly oversee collaboration, or whatever the acting required to look busy was. :)
