ELI5: Why do airports provide the bare minimum amount of power outlets? Is there a logic there I'm not aware of?

i don't want to huddle with 10 other people around a sponsored "charging zone". The power for devices has to be minimal compared to everything else going on in an airport, why not provide power for obviously the obviously more digital consumer?

Do a quick google on how old the airport near you is.

I'll bet that it's at least 10 years old, if not more.  

So its not an intentional thing, there is no logic... because it was never an issue until everyone and their mother had a smartphone and a dozen other electronic devices that need charging.  

The airports were simply not built to accommodate the current demand.  That's why those charging stations are being installed - the alternatives are "do nothing and piss everyone off" or embark on a multi-million dollar renovation to add more outlets and the electric back end to support them.
