Agreed, and I regularly groom my reservations on the Alaska Air site to ensure I actually have the seat assignment I want. As recently as the day before checking in the Alaska site showed me in 6F.
Anyway, it appears it was indeed due to an aircraft swap. I got upgraded to FC though so now I'm not cranky. Although the waitlist in the app still shows no sign of me at all. Sigh.
