I am on the fence about this. On the one hand, your window, your control. And people SHOULD bring eyeshades..there is certainly more light than the overheads. People have reading lights, there is light from the galley, light from the seatbelt sign, exit sign etc. I recently did a TPAC in AA in J, window side on a 777, and even though they used the colored lights, my pod was still facing the dim purple recessed light.
On the other..I see no need for it on day flights of extended daylight time over the ocean. What is there to see but endless ocean, endless haze or endless overcast below?
And of course, if you are on the sun side, it is even more intrusive, sometimes making it hard to see the IFE, or even making you hot.
It's a case to case thing I guess.

Why? Do you think the airline is going to punish them? Or that it even cares?

Want the window? Book the window.
