I agree, but there is still a universe of hotels, motels and apartment complexes without chargers.

It's surprising how fast that can change. Look how quickly hotels rolled out WiFi. It would be difficult to find one without any connectivity now.
The investment for the chargers is much higher. The big hotel chains will likely change relatively quickly, but there is a long tail of smaller hotels living paycheck to paycheck. I think that a better comparison is how long it's taking for fiber to arrive everywhere.
Capitalism in action. If people are choosing based on availability of charge points then you can be sure some will gain and others lose.
