Honestly. "The glare will move around?" The sun isn't like the flashlight you're dancing around near the cat to get them to chase it. It's a fixed object moving at a rather slow pace in a rather predictable way. When the sun rises, it might strike a pax through a window; in that case if the window pax realizes it they should be courteous; if the non-window pax needs help they should ask courteously.

"Two dozen people taking turns asking you to lower the shade?" Drama queen much?
The sun doesn't move around but the plane does. Altitude changes, directional changes, etc. So, yes, the glare moves around. One person in coach with his window shade open can easily affect a couple of dozen people over time. So the suggestion that if the glare affects you, ask to close the shade amounts to a couple of dozen people having to ask.
