In my experience, every local library (both public and collegiate) have had exactly this kind of space available for free use. You just sign up and get to utilize a closed quiet room with a desk, some chairs, and whatever other resources the library has to offer.

I suppose the one difference is that they don't confiscate your electronics, but many have had places to store personal things, so with a tiny bit of discipline, you can easily achieve your idea for free by simply using public services that are already out there!

Perhaps some people would prefer the aesthetic of a boutique startup that seeks to provide this type of space, but it seems like there's just better things to spend your time on then trying to monetize something like this.

Discipline is the key word here. Exercise is free in any open space, but many people (including me) maintains regular exercise only after hiring a personal coach, and only in a proper gym. And they're better for it. If staying offline is beneficial to human, maybe it's worthwhile trying to monetize on helping people stay offline once in a while?
