Indeed; they don't really have a moat. For customers who travel a lot, there might be some network effects, but I suspect they're the minority.

I think there could be something to economies of scale, but in the How I Built That podcase, they brag about every space is bespoke!

I’d pay for a version of WeWork that let me camp out for $10 get self serve coffee but was drab, boring, and decidedly antisocial

Basically a library next to a coffee shop?
