PP footprint in the USA massively shrank over that decade and is only recently starting to add new lounges,
AS lounges used to allow Delta skyclub members (I would use the board rooms at LAX and SEA because I liked them better than the skyclubs) so the BR's did lose some customers (not sure how many Skyclub members used the Board Rooms).
AFAIK the Skyclub's were never part of Priority Pass and I'm hoping they never join PP, they are packed enough as it is without giving more people access.
