She also said there is really no kind of "standby" kind of thing she could do for me to put me in one of my preferred seats should one open up. She suggested to just keep monitoring the seat map in case something opens up, and check with the gate agent on travel day.

I don't blame the agent for this. But it would be nice if involuntary seat changes are made by the airline, some sort of a note explaining it would be nice. Though if it is because of a disabled passenger, I suppose it might be some kind of HIPAA violation or would be deemed to be insulting to the disabled passenger or something. Because everyone is sensitive these days.
