Can DEGASSING sourdough bread still produce an open crumb?

I made two identical loaves of bread to test if degassing sourdough bread really gives it a closed crumb, like so many people say.

Here are the ingredients I used for each loaf of bread:
Bread Flour - 450 grams
Water - 325 grams
Starter - 100 grams
Salt - 10 grams
