You get the behavior you tolerate.
Depends on your, or I suppose more specifically, WN's definition of "available" as their policy is you sit in any "available" seat. Without getting to far-fetched by way of an example, let's say A1 and A2 are first to board and take window and aisle in the first row. A1 would easily have enough time to use the restroom during boarding.

So is it ok for B16 to take A1's seat because it's saved but not occupied? Or is it only ok to take a saved seat when the person it's being saved for isn't already on the plane?

IMHO, I would say that if the person is already on the plane, it's ok to save their seat but how do you really know if the person is or is not on the plane?
