Furthermore, it's existence could only be, sort of, substantiated when the cabin is close to full, right? Otherwise it is not a, uh, benefit. Otherwise, an empty seat next to a *G could just be the outcome of pure luck. On a half empty plane I can move wherever I want following the "boarding completed" announcement.
No, in GDS, seats next to *Gs turn into a + sign. That means that it can only be assigned if all other seats are filled except if overridden by an agent. So that is enough proof for me that seat blocking is an official policy.
