Are open plan offices just another way to browbeat us into submission?

It raises my stress levels 100x

You will not get anything good out of life this way.
I actually hope that we will turn into a post apocalyptic society where we have to literally work for food again, hunt and build, because too many fagots like you want to work on jobs without actually working in any way. You are a weasel that wants to find the most comfortable way to live by taking everything and giving nothing.
People want to micro manage because it are returning sub standard mediocre results and are completely unwilling to even give 50% of your self to any task.

Back in the 80s during the heydey of the computer revolution, they said that by the year 2000 we would only need to have 4-day workweeks. So why is it in 2019 that companies still insist on an archaic 40-hours your-ass-in-the-office as a bare-minimum and they require you to plugin your BYOB smartphone so they can ping you right after dinner as well once you're at home?

Of course, that is pure shit and no one can disagree on that, but did you yourself not choose this job? You could try to find something better or use one of the millions of methods to become self employed.
The point that I'm trying to get across is that you are training your brain to procrastinate, you should associate work with actual work, if you don't or can't that means that you need to find another job or eventually it will become a habit.

Yep. Six hour days, four days a week.
But instead now we're shackled and forced to compete with technology because those who have enough always want more.
Why free your slaves when you can instead augment them to produce more for longer AND threaten that if they don't "work hard enough" they'll be replaced by a machine/3rd worlder.

Welcome to the "Arbeit Macht Frei" economy.
