So what you are asking is that OP destroy their own "deep work" a lot just that you don't get a mild distraction in yours.
> And in an open office, even if you ask only a single person something, others might hear it too, despite the question not being intended to them.
I guess I'm special, because when I'm in a "deep work", I just don't hear people around me. I know it's not the case of everyone, some of my colleagues just put noise-suppression headphones, which is yet another easy way to solve your problem without forcing others to cater to your needs.
Of course, open space can be bad, and there are numerous examples of crazy open space situations. But what OP was describing is clearly not to the extend of what you are talking then.
