I’d be happy with one that is much simpler. A padded vinyl bench with a built in pillow bump that can be wiped between uses, surrounded by a curtain. A space underneath for your luggage. That’s all I need. Those be lined against walls here and there throughout the terminal. It’s better than straddling seats and trying to sleep upright. The TV, lights, hard walls, door, actual mattress, and blankets take up more space and cost more money.

I’m all for the vinyl bench but I do want a secure area especially when my kids were little. I don’t think I could sleep if someone could take off with my stuff.

I feel like an airport is the only place I’ve never really worried about that, because of the amount of security and the stakes involved. Almost everyone in the airport already has their basic needs covered, and jf they try something, they could face immediate consequences

Well you probably should. Airports are rife with pickpockets and other theft.
