I have a CCS car, and I love it, but this is despite the charging network not because of it. The ratio of cars:chargers is probably pretty good, or maybe even better for CCS, in a perverse way because Tesla has such a sales lead. Unfortunately CCS networks in the Northeast tend to install themselves well off the highway in back corners of giant shopping center or mall parking lots. Route I used to take on my Tesla without leaving the highway, or only needing to leave the highway for 1 mile, instead require large detours for CCS. NJTP for example has been a mess for CCS by compare, though it should be better, eventually, with the EvGo partnership. I95/Rt15 through CT is similarly very bad.

I agree location choices could be better. I'm happy that my state's plans for charging infrastructure grants really push new charging developments immediately at the highway exits and other good locations. It will be nice to see that happen, as often times on road trips it did take me driving an extra mile or two into the town to the Walmart or other shopping center to plug in instead of being right on my planned route. In the end though I do expect for CCS to just become pretty ubiquitous. You won't need many big 10+ stall stations, because there will be so many smaller 2-4 stall stations all over the place.There aren't yet the customers to support that amount of infrastructure today though, but as more EVs come to market and Teslas at least having CCS adapters it'll become more of a thing.
