If by "business" you mean buying a coffee in exchange of several hours of free internet, electricity and real estate, then it is sort of understandable why many places don't encourage this kind of "business".

Some places do, and you have all the reasons in the world to favor these places as they match your needs, but it seems kind of silly expecting that every place should cater to every type of customer.

I'll pay for it. Sounds like a win/win unless you hate money.

But who wants to spend any time or money at all in a café that's designed to be hostile to customers?

This seems very harsh. These places need internet anyway, need electricity anyway (the lights will be on either way.) And need real estate anyway. What is your point?

Coffee shops will never have enough seating anyway for the amount of coffee they sell.
