I teach at Corepower and I lock the front door as I head into the classroom to begin.

It really depends on the class. At Pilates where everyone has there own reformer it’s nbd, at Barre3 it was a bit of a pain to make room but classes are expensive and traffic/parking/life can be unpredictable so I just try to give a little grace.

In yoga classes the issue is the noise.

Something like 15 minutes into the class with vinyasas already happening an older lady who was chronically late attempted to get me to interrupt my practice and scoot over and make room for her where there really wasn't any. I refused and she called me the b-word rather loudly.
Fast forward a few years--I'm now at a new gym. Said lady has joined as well. Guess what? She still shows up late to classes. At least at this gym spots are marked on the floor so where you set up is fixed.
The issue is absolutely the people, not the gym. How about people new to spinning that show up 10 minutes into class and then expect the instructor to show them how to set up?
To answer some of the questions--in yoga it's annoying when latecomers make a bunch of noise, or when the spin instructor has stop instruction to pay attention to the newbie or in a crowded lifting class and people are dodging around you.
No, it's the gym or the studio. A good one doesn't let randos walk in late and disrupt the class.

I like assertive instructors. Don't sacrifice the quality of the class for many to cater to the one disorganized idiot. So they hit traffic. Oh well, the class is a miss that day

You need to complain to gym management and get them to close or even lock the door once the class begins, or a minute before.
