This has been my experience here in the South too. Very welcoming and they go out of their way to make things cozy and comfortable. Heck, some of them have their wifi wide open and invite people to use it on the patio for free without even coming inside.
I dislike sweeping changes to fix a specific problem. It means that management isn't willing to take care of the actual issue - people who hog tables without spending money. That's called loitering, and that can be solved without banning electronic devices or herding everyone in and out on some kind of a schedule.
