Nostalgia, largely. I went less and less over the years but in my case it wasn’t because of infrastructure issues or lack of staff-- though these are big issues both for the kind of prestige they wanted to have, and to remain accessible to the wider public. For me it was because they started going pseudo-luxury long ago (though clearance sales were fun at first), and because they eliminated meeting places like restaurants along the way.
