This is a biased view perhaps based on the poster's own experiences.

I can state that I have flown 40 long-haul flights a year, for many years, and NEVER EVER met a customer. This is for one of BA's Top 3 customers.

Not only that but customers aren't letting any Tom, Dick or Harry into their building. Plus their staff are working from home too.

This is rose-tinted specs, and far, far removed from the actualle.
