To be fair I only do this on the short Paris flights and when booking late.

The thing that annoys me about this game is that it takes out choices for other couples and groups. On a recent Nice flight the seat map had all 3 rows behind the curtain with the middle seat blocked, meaning any legitimate couple wanting a pair were at least 4 rows back.

And as Nice is such a busy route the likelihood of those spare middle seats sticking is minimal anyway.
