Don't know about you but I am usually the first one to be inconvenienced (and embarrassed) if my kids start screaming in a lounge or demand a walk on a plane. Therefore I avoid lounges because i'd rather see kids scream if they want to near some empty gate - when traveling with kids, traditional lounges simple do not offer me what i need.
Same for upgrades - with a lap kid i'd much rather sit in Y if i can get an empty seat next to me - that's much more important than some perks of F i can't really benefit from anyways.

"Inconveniencing others" usually means inconveniencing me even more and i'd rather minimize that.
