At any rate, I believe the ban on chairs was because they didn’t want restaurants turning into hangouts for teens. Nevertheless, you don’t punish a whole community because of a something which is only a cheshash and which is only because of a few. I believe that they on their own realized that this will not prevent kids from going OTD, and will only drive them further away. They will go to non-Jewish places. So it is better to have them in a Jewish environment.
