Look, I've used CLB with both my kids.
One thing that is ALWAYS overlooked in these books is that Gina says if you think your baby is hungry you feed it regardless of the time and what her routine says. She does structure the feeds in terms of making sure that each breastfeed is a decent one, but also says that if your baby is hungry earlier than that, start the feed early.
I had a very successful bfing journey with DS (20 months). Not with DD but that was nothing to do with routines, there were other issues there.
Gina says herself that she has deliberately worded her books to sound very strict so people don't monkey about with the times and then whinge that it doesn't work. You have to look past the tone of the book to the actual content which I think is the reason she gets a lot of bad press.
As for who is contented - I think she makes it perfectly plain that the baby and mother is her priority.
