Person A doesn't want to unrecline (sp?) their seat but, person B insists they do. Is it simply a case-by-case basis or is there something more concrete?

As a pocket sized human who mostly travels CW or WT+, I'm generally not affected by most of the matters discussed. However, some of the self-entitlement attitudes and respect for others (or lack thereof) are quite remarkable. Are people really that passionate about being able to recline their seat in the most basic fares (despite their infamy for being relatively uncomfortable regardless of a person's height, width, age, or disposition) or is this just a FT thing?
