Yes, because on 737, the FAs need to brief the OWE window adjacent passengers. But there is space on the floor underneath the seat in front of you, on the 737.

On 787, the emergency exit rows (26ABC, 26HJK) are manned by FAs so no briefing required, so no priority boarding needed there. But there is no seat in front under which to place carry on. But there is usually lots of space in the overhead bins on the 787.
