His statement is not hyperbolic at all IMO.
I travel through EWR quite a bit, and have found that the lounges there (especially since construction) are often standing room only crowded. When the lounge is like that, I often will go to find an empty gate or little nook out in Gen-Pop and be quite a bit more comfortable sitting on the one open barstool available at the EWR lounges.
