This is what we had all over the world (...) when Internet Cafes were a thing. Perhaps they should come back?

The "Santander Work Cafes" (https://www.santanderbank.com/workcafe/cafe) are an excellent implementation of this.
Most developers could not really do their own thing on a PC/laptop that is not theirs.
Are they supposed to set up their development environment each time?
For work oriented cafe, owners can partner with Teamviewer, license seats from it and then advertise this as a fast remote service. Iirc teamviewer requires payment only for host machine, clients can be free. Though I imagine the market for such setup would be extremely small and unprofitable.
Seems overly complicated when you could just give a plug for charger and let them use their own laptops.
Clearly StarBucks should rent out StarBucks branded developer machines in the cloud, which you can access from home or from StarBucks terminals.
You could still bring your laptop? Swap out the HDMI if you want to use the monitor...
