The Spanish setup is just plain weird, but SNCF/Eurostar actively try to discourage Interrail on their trains, as they don’t see it as a valid revenue stream. I don’t have these issues with NS, or SCNB, or DB. And once you get past the reservation requirements, the actual SNCF/Eurostar/AVE staff don’t care at all.

I suppose the other attitude is “Railways should turn a profit”. Which has more to do with the (heavily-subsidised) air industry and car industry lobbying efforts than anything else. But, well, you’re much better versed in this than I am.
