100% this. The absence of free WiFi will do shit, people still have mobile internet. Providing WiFi is just part of a good service. And what about customers who come alone for working on their laptop? It's just silly, nothing else.
i don't use this kind of wi-fi anyways because anyone can grab whatever you send through it
Unironically actually one of the only good use cases for VPNs aside from piracy.
Zero purpose in running a VPN at home just to log into your boomer ass Facebook anyway.

Gen Z are the group leading the dummy phone movement so I think your low effort and comment might be wrong.
Real talk: what does "leading" actually mean? Because if it's like 4% of the generation, it's not much of a paradigm shift.
Why not? As long as you run a reputable VPN it's perfectly safe (and most places let you use a VPN - the ones that don't, I just roll LTE lol)
