The problem is that if just two or three people like the lively, chatty open office, it ruins it for everyone else whose productivity suffers by an order of magnitude in a noisy environment.
It's basically impossible these days to find an office where someone who needs quiet to concentrate can get work done effectively.
Whereas in an office where quiet is the norm, you can always go to the kitchen if you really want to chat.
