2. Backward facing seats at the corners of the cabin mean the least possible exposure to corona during the flight.
3. Safer in case of a crash, and no need for three point seatbelt at take off and landing.
I've done the quick change to shorts and switch shirts no problem in the 789 and 772 B/E. It works
Fair point on Covid but 10L I feel pretty same there if its the Zodiac set up..
And that seat belt shoulder is annoying I agree but you can ditch it as soon as FA's go sit down for take off/landing.

The bad view of window alone though i mean as stated above legit needed a massage of the neck & upper back upon landing from an 8 hour flight.
