Seems like a poor location, no matter how good the lounge is.)
Because there's not enough space? T1 has separate security at each satellite. While some carriers have their own lounges in each satellite such as LH, *A probably decided to open lounge in the main terminal to accommodate all the non-Schengen flights at each satellite. Even QR has their lounge before security I think.
