What difference does it make? Both are allowed at the moment. It is currently these passengers on jollies which are keeping some airlines afloat. BA Cityflyer are only operating holiday routes.
Regarding the complaints, there is no problem with only having soap in bathrooms. It is better to wash your hands with soap and water than sanitize them. Nothing open other than a couple of eateries? most of the time there isn't anything else other than a World Duty Free shop anyway. Without the high spending asian tourists these shops will be the last to open.
As for alcohol sales onboard, very few are restricting it other than for their own cost cutting purposes - nearly all airlines continue to serve alcohol in business/first class.
