I think you misread what is changing about AC day passes.
Previously anyone could buy a day pass, even folks who were not AAdvantage members. With this change now you must be an AAdvantage member to buy a day pass.
So in theory this should reduce the number of day pass users, although in reality there probably won't be any noticeable change as I'm guessing a large % of folks buying passes were already members.
And of course nothing is changing regarding club crowding, so if a club is crowded they will just restrict day pass use like they always have.
