I agree you need to pay for what was previously free. Yes. I also agree that pisses people off. Yes.
However you are not forced to pay anything. They will still get you from A to B in the class you have paid for. I suspect the frustration and rancour is that other passengers (paying a higher fare) are now getting a look in on those once exclusive seats.
