Maybe this is not a glitch and maybe it's the way forward temporarily. It actually makes lots of sense, all things considered.
Well, apart from just a very small number of stations, there has only ever been one lounge available anyway. But I certainly see the logic of your fundamental point.

The very idea of people being happy to touch or handle bottles / utensils / drinks machines / toasters etc etc, previously touched by hundreds of others, is pretty much unthinkable in the current climate ; and for that reason it’s hard to imagine self-serve lounge facilities being safely restored for a long time.
