You can complain if you were not taken care of, or if you were not informed timely, which happens with LCCs.
But this doesn't seem to be the case.

This year, one of my flights was delayed 5H30 for medical reasons. We couldn't deplane though the diversion airport was one of EK's destinations (I could even see one EK 777).
How about all the pax waiting for the plane at the outstation ?
Can we all sue the lady that got sick ? It could have been me, or my family.

Recently, one of my flights was delayed 2H due to the airport's electrical failure. We couldn't deplane even though we were still at the gate.
Can I sue the airport ?

I fully understand the frustration / anger, but, one day, you may be the cause of the delay. (hopefully not)
I think for the compensation, and why not, we don't know the reason for delay. Your examples jump to the extreme
