Honestly that is ridiculous lol. There have been quite a few times that I am always a little bit glad that EY still offered free seat selection in Y, as compared to EK, thinking I would hate if I could not pick my seat if I wasn't an elite. EY did a wonderful job of 'enhancing' that for me.
It seems you just need to hope that when you go to pick seats 24 hours out, you need to be lucky in getting two (or more) seats together. Either that or relying on the kindness of strangers/check-in agents later on to make things work. I figure this is going to be a pain for families traveling together, especially those with younger children!
