I think you make a good point. Perhaps the only way to resolve the issue is to have two distinct terminals; one for the carriers that pay diddly squat for airport services, and another for full service carriers who, along with the passengers, pay a decent rate. Then ensure the full service passengers get a decent terminal experience by putting more resources into that terminal, and essential provide Lo Co airlines and passengers with a lo co service level.

Wouldn't be popular with people that want something for nothing though.
