I find the story to be just the opposite: such behaviour of The Corporation is not motivating at all, in the productive sense. It is rather motivating to do something completely different from productive coding/work.
The problem is, that he lowers the bar, strongly encouraging the "management™"[1] to AAPLy the mushrooming[2] technique, which I believe they [did] do.
[1] imho the whole story is BS (because he was bound to bump into someone, if not when going to the bathroom). AAPL is one of the few public companies being openly secretive, and they are known to use [military grade, an HP heritage] security: you simply cannot clown around for long unwantedly.

And he's talking about the insidious behavior of Apple.
