You didn't read my post. I said some people fit in it.
If you don't, there are plenty of options, from avoiding the plane, to paying for an extra seat, to Premium Economy and Business.
Not everything has to work FOR YOU. In addition to Spirit and Allegiant, I avoid Basic Economy, as well as American's micro-pitch seats. I also avoid $10,000 international first class, for the opposite reason. I am not outraged that airlines offer products that don't work for me. I buy what does.
