For some people, apparently it's relaxing. I'll use my pool deck example again... I want no parts of sitting on a crowded pool deck but obviously tons of people find that relaxing/enjoyable.
Personally, I only want access to the CL during HH so I can pop in and check out the snacks. I enjoy some of them. As long as I can get 2 seats, I don't really care if it's crowded or not. If not for the snacks, I wouldn't go during HH.
