I'm not sure there is a comprehensive list and I suspect it changes from time to time, esp if they GM changes. The ones that do limit the number and tend not to be available during the busiest time. I know historically HH, Orlando and CA resorts do in general. I've seen reports that Utah resorts do not but YMMV. I doubt HI or the Caribbean do but that's just a guess based on their situation. I would think that common sense would give you a good idea such as Branson & Williamsburg's likely, Boston, Beach Place, Crystal shores, likely not. It's always space available and generally limited to a few per day when allowed. There is a check in procedure that varies with the resort, usually at the front desk or spa desk. Parking is usually the lowest type available. Even then it's only at resorts you actually own at. As for how common, as a % of members I suspect it's very rare but for some I think it's quite common as it's going to be the same ones over and over again. Basically the ones that live in the area or someone staying at one resort who owns at another. Some use it much like they would a country club if they live in the area like HHI. Looking at other systems it varies from system to system for example, DVC never allows day use, Bluegreen does at some resorts, I'm not sure about Wyndham even though I own a small amount of points with them.
I know they did years ago.
Shadow Ridge does, it's in the deeded governing documents. I though Desert Springs had it as well.
There have been lots of threads on this topic. Search and you will find a lot of lists. But as noted, you only get it if you own a week there.
This is a little different, but where MVC resorts and Marriott hotels are co-located, for at least some the Marriott hotel may offer a limited number of day passes to the resort subject to occupancy levels.
I did. You can't search day use because the words are too short.
I have been around TUG a long time, and I have never seen any such lists of resorts that offer day use and those that don't. Just lots of anecdotal information based on owner experience.

Or possibly they weren't at the time. Most likely they just weren't informed. I'm assuming you own at DSV.
I know they used to allow it there. If it were important maybe asking further would give different results. It would be unusual for one in the area to allow day use but not another unless there were some specific reason.
I've seen Grande Ocean limit it or not allow it during the busiest weeks and it's always space A. That's the one I have the most experience with. I always want to be kind but I dislike getting uninformed decisions so the call back and ask again or ask for a supervisor are common methods to handle such matters. Unfortunately the worker bees are often ill informed on such matters, which would be understandable for this issue, so if they are unaware, they'll assume it's not allowed.
You're talking about a separate paid membership to have access to day use without owning a week there, correct. I am aware of at least one other resort that does this but it is not as high end as Marriott or Hyatt.
Generally you need to be an owner at the resort in order to get Day Use privileges.
Was that on hotel side or MVC side of things?
That is the hotel operator selling them for extra revenue.
