For a very basic CRUD app I tend to agree with you.
But for anyone dealing with synchronization between threads/processes/machines, modeling engineering problems with large systems of equations, complex business domains, systems programming, actually implementing something from an algorithms textbook yourself, cryptography, or any problem that requires you to keep more than one or two things in your head at once to be solvable, focus is important.
And if the simple crud app mentioned before turns into spaghetti through no fault of your own, you'll still need to focus.
So I'm not going to shame anyone for saying they need to focus.
