They went from kids/family vibe to “operating theatre please leave quickly” vibe. In Australia we had one with a train carriage for kid’s birthdays, one with a plane, all sorts of fun. I understand the change and the coffee is better for it but still change isn’t always a good thing

Kids don't have money and don't have automomy. Adults do. They used to market to kids, who then begged their (usually) stay at home moms to take them to McDonalds.

Then it became uncouth to market fast Food to kids so They adjusted. Adults are not swayed by play lands and hamburglers much.
