I'm sorry but that's nonsense. Listening to music is not a creative process, it does not at all take away creativity from somewhere else.
I've never, ever, ever once in 40 years of coding listened to music while coding and later found the code "unnecessary" or anything of the sort.
I engage in many creative pursuits outside of coding, always while listening to music, and I can confidently say that music has never once interfered in the process or limited the result in any way.
