I don't call a FA because there has been twice where I've accidentally taken the wrong seat because i wasn't paying close enough attention to the row numbers. I'm glad neither of those times a FA was called, because of course I was going to move as I was in the wrong seat.
However, I don't see anything wrong with calling a FA if there is a seat squatter and they want to have any sort of conversation about why they need to swap seats. I don't swap seats as a general rule, but, I don't care if someone asks as long as when I say "no" that is the end of it.
