But only the really, really, really wealthy can afford it, along with those with a generous company flying a higher-up and some lucky nonrevs.

Bingo, you hit a great point. I do remember my old man telling me that in his days of travel, it was mostly OIL MEN that flew in those capacities. But really, there is no need to supercramp up the spaces to the point where you brake your nose because somebody in front leans the seat back for the sake of cramming more passangers for the sake of making more money. It's like telling the toilet paper manufactureres, to cut back on 20 yards per roll because "It adds up". Next thing you know, the 20 yards turns to 40 yards to 60 yards and then it turns to more crap.
