Just because you can get away with something does not make it right. For example, Southwest prohibits duplicate reservations (flights going to different places around the same time, or reservations for the same destination on different flights on the same day). We all know what the policy is, yet on a regular basis there are threads asking if the auto-cancel bot will be deployed on their set of duplicate reservations.

The attitude seems to be "can I get away with this?"
But seat saving isn't "getting away with something" except in the minds of some people who don't like it. WN doesn't prohibit it and didn't make them a seating arbiter.
