I know nothing about airport design, but I imagine passenger convenience/experience is a lot less important than operational efficiency (for the core business, which is getting planes in and out). I've got nothing but time to kill before a flight, so I don't mind an extra 5-10 mins of walking around before being stuck in a chair, especially if it means the flight is more likely to leave on time, and takes bit less time taxiing, etc.
I'm sure my tune will change a bit when I'm towing around my little one(s), but even then, I'd prefer extra terminal sq footage to waiting amongst many busy/cramped gates
