Nature vs. Nurture

Why do people with small children in strollers refuse to use the public Internet terminals on the children's floor?  You would think it would be a more attractive opportunity because there are games and toys to keep the kids occupied and less bored but no.  They insist on staying on the adult floors and allowing their kids to screech and holler and disturb all the other adults who are trying to read, research and surf the Internet.  Is it pure self-interest or do they think if they ignore their children's needs long enough the kids just might disappear?
