Those numbers aren't really relevant.
It's not like someone on an 8pm flight is going to be competing for a seat with someone on an 8am flight.
I was super late to SFO today, so did not have a chance to try to get in again on my YVR flight, but this whole situation sounds poor.
My typical SFO lounge scenario is:
1. I show up relatively close to departure
2. I visit a lounge, grab a drink, and use the bathroom
3. I board my flight
I don't need a seat, but a 10 minute walk or 10 minute line both mean I don't get to use a lounge.
