Smaller-scale co-working is also more affordable. You don't usually have a community manager for one thing. You don't impress people with fit-out or free beer or whatever. You just provide a likeable, reasonable space for people to share.
I co-own a 15-18 desk space and while we have churn, our setup costs were not especially high, we don't have staff (we are tenants ourselves) and we largely ignore the competition. We would be one of the more expensive spaces but uncompetitive on facilities/services - I think we have attracted people because we're simpler and quieter.

Remote work is growing strong and coworking places will become increasingly popular, but in the end people want a reasonably good place to work that is cheap, not a fancy socializing place. Wework would make sense if they provided this at large scale, instead they cater to a lifestyle crowd.
