Thats because back then you got a paid lunch and in the 1990s companies stopped offering that and said it was a boon to workers because “you can leave the property for lunch” and other excuses like “liability” and such.
Now workers have to stay an extra hour and dont get paid for that time.
Even if you can leave
Unless you live really close to your work there’s no practical place to even go to without wasting a bunch of your break traveling
