Not every elite benefit need appeal to every person. Take breakfast in the lounge if that works for you; enjoy breakfast in a full-service restaurant at your own cost. Make the economic judgment of where to stay accordingly.
Many times I will decline a free breakast to seek something better meeting my own standards: higher quality, more space, broader offerings, etc.
