The only ones who lose out are the people who cheap out (Lite/on points), and sensibly so should be given fewer options until check-in.

Why is it okay to give those who use points or pay a Business Lite cash fare worse seats? Imagine you've saved up your hard earned miles (from flying or credit card points), and you're planning your honeymoon or your first family trip where your parents / grandparents can try Business Class.
You only had enough miles to book Saver or Advantage, given how expensive Access is, particularly for more than 1 pax. Why is it fair to say that you or anyone in this situation should then not be allowed to pick the same seats as those who paid cash or more miles for Access? Why must the spoils go to those who are cash or points rich? We are all still sitting in Business Class right ... why is there a need for further segregation and division?
