Most aren't willing to pay more and prefer to, or can only, pay the lowest cost possible. Most people seem perfectly content in economy, so I think your view if it is the exception.
I hate flying in economy, so I pay not to.

How many of the airlines that tried to be all business class are still around?
People won't pay the additional fee required for less seats and more space on a plane.
Exactly - if you wanted economy to be reasonably spacious and improved - somehow it would have to be paid for. Most people are not willing to pay for it. This is what is known as a First World problem. Flying has just become so cheap - way off what people could only dream of in the early 1970s.
