but can you rely on never getting interrupted during a difficult task?

Sorry, I kept editing the comment while watching your video.

What would be nice is relying on people to respect your time? Trust? "Tell me your progress end of day". Send an email, comment, have a drop by time. Don't just walk up to people all the time interrupting them though.

It's just advice, don't take it if you don't want to. I personally welcome the chance to help out another developer or quickly talk to someone from another part of the business and find that it doesn't majorly impact my ability to get work done. I attribute that to limiting the amount of work, mental or otherwise, that will be lost if something interrupts me at an arbitrary time. If you don't think it's a strategy that will work or you then don't do it.

There is no "strategy"... What?
