> who are you to judge them for how they like to work
Generally speaking, publishing a deliberate, intricately staged (like a doll's tea party), museum exhibit-like workspace, which looks more like a Jony Ive wet dream rather than where actual humans produce, in a public venue, is a tacit invitation to criticism.
This attitude is how we ended up with things like the MacBook butterfly keyboard.
It's interesting that you're assuming all these workspaces are staged and not how they actually work, with maybe a bit more cleanup like today's lunch bowl not on the desk, or water bottle / coffee cup and a few papers.
I know many people who are neat freaks and these "staged" workspaces are exactly how their lives are daily.
