My dad used to take me to work sometimes when I was like 5 and he would takes samples of material in often abandoned buildings. Cleanup crews would come in and certify that it was safe to walk through, but my dad took samples from the ceilings, walls, etc. Often times I was woken up at like 3 AM and we would walk though office buildings that looked exactly like those liminal spaces rooms all the time. It wasn't creepy but it was certainly weird to see a room just empty. Out of all the things I've been scared of thoughout my childhood (and believe me, I was a pussy) those abandoned rooms weren't one of them.

 I could see how it's kind of mysterious and intriguing or whatever, but people actually feeling uneasy because of an empty room? I feel like it's kind of a herd mentality thing like The Exorcist. lots of moviegoers back then were religious and the horror of it was that it was a litttle girl possessed by the devil. Nowadays people go through edgy atheism phases and just pretend that it's a scary movie when part of the fear involves having faith. Point is, I don't see how this could be anything more that people pretending that it's scary. I refuse to believe that this makes anyone feel 'uneasy' or whatever. This has to be one of those things that people feel they're supposed to feel uneasy/fearful looking at because they've been told that it's the scariest thing ever.

Eh maybe like you said with the excorcist many movie goers were religious then now theyre atheistic to agnostic. Perhaps the backrooms creep them out because its a tangible idea of nothingness or to use a christian term a sort of limbo. A place to be lost within for all time with no hope of finding anything other than more emptiness. Idk i dont find them creepy kind of a fun concept when they came out but never found them scary. It might have to do with the semi surrealness the images can invoke or otherworldliness while still being familiar.
