It's not as simple as that. Spanish Springs caters to an older demographic and doesn't draw the non-Villages locals like LSL and Brownwood do. We were out for dinner last night at Brownwood in fact at 9pm since we like to eat late. We had to go on a waiting list to go into one of the restaurants that we wanted to dine at, and it would've been the same for most restaurants in the square. Our waiter told us that he used to work at a now defunct restaurant in SS and it was almost completely dependent on Villagers for customers, where Brownwood has a mix of people that from both inside and outside of TV which helps during the "slow" season.
When we've showed up to SS to dine at 9pm it's pretty much shut down and the restaurants are nearly empty.
I think the long strip of chain restaurants near SS doesn't help that situation either.
