I see keeping your window shade open during a flight as akin to playing loud music at home with your windows open. Sure, you're allowed to do this. But it's highly inconsiderate and anti-social; it disturbs everyone else and interferes with their ability to enjoy the service that they've paid for.
Just my two cents.
One can easily put on eye shades if the fact that I like to look out the window bothers them. Don't make me responsible for your (not "everyone's") comfort, when you're perfectly capable of dealing with it yourself.
