I agree with this, but, would also note that this is simply what people demand.
Delta/AA/UA/ETC could easily take a plane, remove 20% of the seats, and charge 25% more for each seat...but, this would be a failing concept, and they know it.
Travelers are either very price sensitive, or very un-price sensitive...
