Coach Legroom is Bad Enough - Why Reduce it Further with a Footrest?

Just flew Turkish for the first time. There were a couple of minor annoyances, but this one bugged me the most.

I flew the 777. Each coach seat has a footrest anchored to the seat in front. When the footrest is down, it interferes with stretching one's legs out because it is there blocking the ability to extend one's legs under the seat in front.

But, when it's up, it takes away an inch or more from a portion of the seat pitch. See photo below.

Coach legroom is bad enough these days - why put something in that further restricts legroom?
