The thing about OGG is it's Hawaii (read:leisure destination with few biz pax, no connecting traffic- two of the major reasons to have a lounge). Why would you stay in a BR when you could spend time in Hawaii outside of the airport during your vacation? Is the soup really THAT good?
In Hawaii, it takes bags a little longer to arrive then on the mainland IME... so a quick stop in the BR could be justified

SJC-AUS... but I see your point- its not a place where many pax are waiting for a connection... - for OGG I'd be happy with a setup similar to what HA offers (and AQ did) with a room accessible with a number, yielding free wifi, POG, and a couple snacks...
