The Planet Fitness near me recently got rid of every single weight bench in the facility and replaced them with machine weights.

TBH, that probably works just as well for the demographic they're trying to appeal to. The untrained person who wants to get in shape but is intimidated by traditional gym culture. Someone who's never worked out before will improve no matter what they do. A lot of them will drop out, some will be satisfied at that level, and a few will get serious about it and look for a better facility.
