I don't know about you, but I have to use the bathroom 1-3x during the day and I hate leaving my laptop to the public while I go, but I also hate packing my whole setup up and sleeping my laptop.
Isn't this what security cable locks are made for? Granted these days fewer devices feature a Kensington lock though ofc.
That's another problem. I've several cafes where I put some expensive Apple gear and disappear for a while. It depends on the cafe and the relation you have relatively to the owner/waitresses and the clientele.
As much as I love occasionally getting stuff done in a cafe, I find using laptops without an external monitor and keyboard at the right heights gives me posture-related problems if I do it for more than a couple of hours at a time.
If I were running my own company and employing remote staff I'd have to think about the workplace health and safety implications if they were regularly working in cafes.

It doesn't work for 100% of your time. Obviously it's going to be different for different people.

There are many issues with cafe work:
- Lots of cafes are bothered if you stay for extended periods of time.
- Unstable or No wifi. You have to rely on Data unless you have it unmetered.
- Not always you'll find a charging outlet for your computer. Granted, I don't have this issue with the mac.
- Sometimes, you don't find a free/available place. So... you go to search again.
I think cafes are good for breaking the mood. But not a workplace for remote workers.
