To be clear, I’m not saying that I am owed power, merely that this is a very small concession/amenity that makes logical sense to provide, they were already providing it, and it was appreciated and used by customers of the rail lines. It’s pretty common to find power outlets available in say, coffee shops, and customers are spending substantially more on the train than they are for a latte.

And to be clear, this is only a public space in the sense that it is freely accessible. It nonetheless has an express business purpose, and general usage outside of the purposes of transportation is discouraged (in as much as that may be ignored). It’s not like it’s a public park or a random corner bus stop.
