I attribute it to staff trying to be helpful in their own way.
If your flight departs from satellite, and you try to enter the regional lounge the staff might feel it is more convenient for you to be in the satellite lounge and redirects you. That said, some polite insistence will always work out well.
I have had it before at satellite while my flight to Singapore departed 3 hours later from the main terminal, and after listening to the fact there are no boarding calls and they are not accountable if I take too long to get there I give a friendly smile and an acknowledgement of that I still got in the lounge as an OWE.
