I feel like this kind of thing has a subtle second layer of frustration. The boss in this scenario might have learned why flexible lunch breaks are a good idea, but I doubt he learned the next level up idea of, like, listen to your workers. They might have learned about this specific scenario but don't learn anything more broadly applicable.
This is a good example of what kind of person wants to become a manager, but actually makes the worst manager.
Somebody who believes that their ideas are always right, but never actually thinks them through. Somebody who believes that their position as a manager is proof that they are better than their subordinates.
Yeah, it's a similar concept to how the majority of people likely to become cops (especially but not only in countries like the US where there's barely any effective restraints) should ABSOLUTELY not be allowed to become cops.
Incidentally, both groups have a proportionally huge number of people with malignant narcissism and other personality disorders compared to people in general.
