Some of my best travel memories (ie, the getting there as opposed to the destination) involve relaxing in lounges with great food and wine. No problem whatsoever if they don’t for you, but surely you can understand how they might for others, no?
Sure, I used to enjoy relaxing in lounges.. but that was when lounges were not overcrowded like they are these days... There are a few exceptions globally, but my general expectation of lounges is low.

This. True intl F lounges are perhaps the last remaining outposts of those days.
