Back when I was in an office, we switched desks once a quarter. We randomized the selection order each time and the only rules were you couldn't sit at the same desk or next to the same people. The value was that sitting next to new people created more social connections and created more trust and a change in scenery was refreshing.

Also forces you to artificially build social connections which for some introverts might be challenging and upsetting.

Many necessary and/or good things are challenging and upsetting.

It's a thing, but it's not automatically the most important thing. That depends on other factors.

The premise here is that most desk changes are neither necessary nor good.
