I do tend to agree with you, but I will tell you that when my children were babies we often booked tickets with the reservationist telling us that we would be given seats together when we arrived at the airport.
It is quite possible and common for people to book flights while being unaware that they aren't being given seats together.
I guess my point is that the airlines do contribute to this problem.
