What about the seat selection process, then? Many airlines charge extra for seats, even in economy, such as BA. If you paid less for a middle seat, then luckily the window or exit row was open, and you shuffled over, this is the same for you? Right now on LAX-LHR I'm given the option of paying $30 or somesuch to buy an exit row, and $60 to get a window, and even more for an exit row. Would you get upset if someone didn't pay for choosing a seat, then decided to move to the window in a mostly-empty row?
Because I don't think you'd willfully sit in the middle seat if the window was open. Etc etc. You can get so pedantic about this, that it just isn't worth giving a second thought to.
