When she attends, she usually attends for the doubles finals as well as the singles. So while the women's (single) is usually shorter than the men's, today was also the men's doubles final and the women's double final. That would have been 3 matches . It would have been difficult to only attend the first match and skip the other two, since playing in those doubles finals today were a Brit (Patten), 2 Aussies, 1 Canadian, and 1 New Zealander. It was realm galore at the doubles finals today. And I'm not surprised she didn't have the energy for 8 hours of outdoor tennis viewing.
No, she actually chooses the match that she wants to attend and shows up at that hour. Sometimes the original schedule can change a little(you can not predict with certainty the exact duration of a match) so she may end up beeing on the court for some part of other match than the original. But she does not attend all matches in the same day.
I've watched in past years her watching multiple matches per day. When I'm watching the women's single final and then watching the doubles' finals they'll pan to the royal box, and often she is at the doubles' finals as well. She'll go back stage to congratulate the winner of the previous match, then she'll return to the box to watch the doubles match in progress. She's also a doubles fan. For example, when Catherine, Meghan and Pippa attended the women's final together, Meghan left after Serena lost, but Catherine and Pippa stayed for the doubles finals.
I do not think anyone would blame her for not showing up. Her health is the most important thing and she should prioritise that above any appearance. But if she makes a choice for an appearance that choice will be discussed.
We will have to agree to disagree on this. We have different oppinions and that is fine. I respect your take on this!

This is the Great British Summer. We don't do heat! It's rained throughout most of Wimbledon, although thankfully the forecast for today is for it to be dry. Whatever medical issues there may be, heat will definitely not be one of them!
This is one of the problems with Charles' plan for a "slimmed-down RF." It's fine while everyone who is left if functioning, but if something happens and people are not able to attend events, some back-up is needed!
My guess would be George is on his way to Berlin.
It does not look like it
I agree, there have been fewer appearances. In some cases royals have been spotted outside the royal box. Presumably, because they wanted to watch a match scheduled on another court. However, the appearance of Charlotte, and George last year, indicate the future is bright for the next generation of royal watchers.
