As someone already pointed out, usually the swaps are not equal - e.g., a window or aisle seat into a middle seat, or rows drastically far apart.
And I am surprised no one's mentioned this - if a passenger pays for a premium seat or has earned the seat selection by virtue of airline status, why on earth would they give that up so a couple or family can sit together? I'm actually not sure which is worse, asking an elite passenger who earned better seats to swap out of it to a regular seat, or asking someone who paid $50+ for a better seat to swap out of it to a worse seat.
I mean, your right to be a pain in the butt because you have kids
definitely ends if it causes me a financial loss.
