Really? In what way?

Bolding mine.
To avoid confusion: CLOSED on weekends means the lounge shuts down around noon on Friday & doesn't re-open until 5:00pm on Sunday (w/ the exception of some Middle East countries, whose weekends are on dif days). OPEN means that the lounge is still open for brekkie and evening offerings of food and drink Fri night, all day Sat & all day Sun. KEY ACCESSIBLE means the lounge is closed, but you can still enter with your room key to use the internet terminal or grab a soda or bottled water.
Locking the lounge when it is closed is a property-by-property thing; that's why that additional data element is collected and reported in the thread. The entry for the San Ramon Marriott does not say KEY ACCESSIBLE, so I would not expect it to be so on the weekend.
