Of course you don't have to make a seat reservation and wait until T-24, but then sitting together as a couple or avoiding the two center seats in a 4 seat row is not guaranteed.
Seat choice is especially important with a cabin configuration like BA's. They're basically capitalizing on the crappiness of their J cabin.

BA currently leading race to the bottom among the legacy/flag carriers.
