In the event of a crash landing, you need to be able to see outside the plane, and rescuers need to be able to see inside the plane.

The people who aren't next to a window don't have the discomfort of having to open the window shade and it's apparently not important enough for there to be no seats next to those areas of the plane with no window, so why should the rest of us have to put up with the discomfort?

I'd be happy to take the chance on letting my eyes adjust after the crash anyhow.
