Right! And according to Seatguru, you can't see the movie screen as easily, and you'll be disturbed by people going in/out of the lavs.
Obviously, if a pax has a connecting flight, they want to be as close as possible to the front, but other than that, I still don't see why these seats are "preferred", even when I clicked on the link that passinginterest gave. People in that thread are thrilled about it but I still don't see why.
