The constant decline of the pub in the UK is viewed as a real social and cultural issue. But one thing that could help is banning them from having so many damn sofas!
Sofas discriminate against those of us who are aged and struggle to get up when backside is so near the floor. Thus could lead to embarrassing situations if a crane is not available.
Another problem that interferes with the good work of pubs is those that still have 'only table service' which reduces human interaction especially stopping the meeting of strangers.
I don’t like pubs and always thought they should have more sofas, and this article explains why I don’t like them and why you’re probably right and I should leave pubs to those that do like them.
This phrase stood out “requires neurologically-taxing effort”, along with the noise levels pubs are unbearable for me. So I should probably stop my campaign for more sofas in pubs, but I will keep the idea in bars to help reduce the over drinking. The difference being a bar is where you go to drink and a pub is where you go to socialise with drink.

Fine words.
I think you mean they are a *waist*-high waste of space.
I suspect he did actually mean 'waste' as part of his shit-themed rhetoric.
Honestly from a neurodivergent standpoint, a soundproof chillout room at a Heavy Metal gig sounds amazing 😅
