No shows is a very bad thing if you want those seats to stay empty.
If the flight is full and there's standby passengers guess what happens? Frontier will happily seat them into the seats you paid for as the occupants didn't show up....
No, the only way to make sure you'll get to use your own private row is to buy those seats and then alert Frontier that you're a COS, need those seats for yourself.
I found the screenshot I took when asking CS last time:

The way airline ticket pricing works these days, what may happen is the price for one seat is $40, and then the second and/or third seat is $55 or whatever - because the cheap fare bucket is sold out and the price goes up to the next fare class in line. Very common for people who book travel for groups or large families.
But no, they do not deny those requests.That'd be a lawsuit and very bad press just waiting to happen.
Airlines are not comparable to Bolt Bus - type transportation where buying multiple seats but occupying just one of them is frowned upon and will get you a seat neighbor anyway.if the bus is full.
Frontier's COS policies explicitly mentions that affected passengers "
should book two seats prior to travel", and my experience with booking additional seats for my dog across multiple airlines is that airlines are always happy about people like me who do that because most don't and then there's issues when the flight is full... I`ve had COS sit next to me being reseated there by the CC/GA during the boarding process, occupying most of the empty seat *I* paid for.
