Reverse herringbone configs don't have such a clear difference between desirable and less desirable seats, but in any event window seats make up between 20 and 28 seats in the CX or AA configurations.
It may be slightly lower density but there is actually a higher number of good seats.
My point relates to flight of choice. We tend to book travel at the eleventh hour and frequently find ourselves booked on a less desirable flight and waitlisted on the one we want. Waitlisting frequently converts to a confirmed seat but not always. The problem is BA flights are simply fully booked by the time we make our travel arrangements.
