I agree. I was specifically curious as to whether the QF F lounge in PVG was better than the CX/KA combo biz lounge, seeing that the entrances are adjacent to each other -- and the answer is that the CX/KA lounge is better, so who cares, although I was surprised at being denied access using my QF card and having to use Priority Pass.
