I'm curious why you think a lot of people don't select a seat, especially up front? Does some sort of research suggest this? Upgrades auto-assign you a seat. All the major booking sites either force you into a booking path to select seats or make it very easy to select a seat - I'm having a hard time believing people are buying F and deliberately and actually going out of their way to not choose a seat.
