Wholly disagree. I feel like that middle section should be for the aisle passenger. The bar right in the middle of the aisle passenger's foot space practically demands it.
If you need that much legroom, feel free to put the bag that's in your space (i.e. the space under the window seat) in the overhead. The aisle pax should have no need to do so unless desired for their own foot space.
ps -- we do completely agree that the seat design is silly. There has to be a better way - they went with a bar wherever the tracks are in the floor; has to be a better way, right?
