Did they change to stop marketing toward kids or just wanted modern?

They found out that they earn more money if people leave earlier and make room for new clients.

I remember hearing this somewhere.

Modern fast food chains are designed to be comfortable enough so that you consider eating there but uncomfortable enough for you to not linger after you've eaten your meal.

Well, for the fast food chains, that's even better.
