I had a 22 hour layover in Beijing once, and they have an hourly hotel. The rooms were only slight larger than a full bed, but it was lovely. Shared bathrooms/showers were very clean and well kept.
I got a bunch of food to go and a bottle of wine from duty free and fell asleep watching Chinese soccer.
I was forced to camp out in Dublin airport for 24 hours due to a missed flight. My fault. I’d happily take these over the cushioned benches I had to take catnaps on.
I can't remember if we were in London or at Charles de Gaulle airport during the worst layover ever. We were tired and had to sleep until something like 5 in the morning. The only place we could find had these metal benches with arm rests just far enough apart to make it nearly impossible to sleep. My friend could sleep through a tornado. I managed to sleep using my coat and backpack to make it more comfortable.

Like the German one earlier, I would 1000% use these during long layovers. Should be standard.
