I thought extinguishers were there to be used, not admired?

But that's not the reality on most planes where to remain competitive every spare inch of space is used. I would like a decent lavatory as well, but the trend is to make them smaller and smaller and squeeze in an extra seat or two. Wouldn't make much sense to make a "crew cantine" that's used for an hour eacht flight. So separated by a curtain is what the crew gets and needs to live with. Having passengers outside that area should also be accepted not discouraged.
A logical point indeed.
