Safety was one of the first learning experiences I persevered through when I spent a little bit of time on the streets (very little). Shared company with quite a few homicidal psycho killer-looking characters on the dirty dog (greyhound), so I fully support the idea that libraries can be havens for people trying to survive homelessness. But libraries are also major hub for upper middle class women like my wife, and they want access to systems that fit into their worlds. And their worlds revolve around mobile (I waffle between graphene OS and flip phones). Libraries will cater towards this class of user over people like myself or you. But I wouldn't label that "enshittification". That's a superficial and shallow minded view of the organic library network in the US.

I think this is actually one of the main causes / attack vectors for enshittification, and the reason it'll never be stopped. No one says "no" to upper middle class women, ever, in the U.S. at least. And why would you? They constitute most of consumer spending.
