Based on what metric?

Temp Lounge capacity < Former J lounge capacity

I think just guesstimating from the old eyeball test where QF J was reasonably full and the current space is smaller.

J was reasonably full and the current space is smaller.

At the time you were travelling... I suspect it is just QF using a catch all out for them. There is no way for lounge eligible passengers to actually know.

Temp Lounge capacity < Former J lounge capacity

Licensed lounge capacity < licensed former J lounge capacity

Again, it is quite different to saying that the actual lounge capacity was unable to absorb 2pax at the time of seeking lounge access. Lounge traffic can be quite variable

No loss to us . Just another dot point: OW lounge access possibly unreliable.

More accurately the access to QF temporary J lounge at SYD is unreliable when flying J or below on OW partners and holding status below WP/OWE.

But why your 2 pax and not another 20 groups of 2 pax? What makes you special?

They have to manage this at a macro level otherwise QF can’t accommodate its own pax, which doesn’t have alternative arrangements.

MH may also be paying the 3rd party lounge on the basis that’s the only lounge they need to pay for, and won’t also pay QF for its lounge.

I think you’re being very unreasonable.
