On this point I wholeheartedly 100% disagree with you.

My position as a 1K member retaining my seat completely overrides any so-called "rights" assumed by a family on Basic Economy who knew in advance they had no seat assignments, and decided to dump the problem on everyone else around them.

Ask me nicely and offer a like-for-like seat trade, sure I'll consider it, but make a demand and assume either I will jump up and comply, or be forced to by the crew, then no way.
