Doubt the phone and CS agents are going to like the feedback they get from people who don't read what they are buying.
No - they're going to buy the fare purposely and then think they have a reason after the fact that the restrictions they had to deliberately acknowledge and agree to before advancing through the booking process now shouldn't apply to them and their "unique" situation.

Not that I would consider it, but where I could see some savior people considering it is on domestic flights with a PS cabin that is sold as C+ and where a middle seat is at least more tolerable and bearable, or on a 767 with no middle seats to get stuck into. If your group is large enough, you may even exceed the number of C+ middle seats in this scenario (e.g. on the A330-300, there are only 3 middle seats in PS so if you book C+ Basic for 4 or more people, at least 1 person is guaranteed a non-middle).
