There are many entitled people. I had a woman asked me to put my seat up on a TAlt flight while she was fully reclined. I told her that I would consider her request only if she can get the guy in front of me to put his seat up. Also, I had a woman insisted that I wanted her middle seat instead of my aisle seat on a LAX to New Zealand flight. I told the women, no thank you for each of the 5 or 6 times she told me to switch seats.

Seats are designed to recline. It is part of the price we pay. Of course, I will put my seat up during the meal. I also do not put the seat down if the flight is less than 3 hours but that is my choice and only my choice.
