Note that your preferences were for aisle and you were allocated window seats.
Your seating preferences are stored against your FF number when you join QFF. If you never join QP or reach PS, they are stored as null data entries. If you do join QP or become PS, your are asked for them and the data gets updated accoring to your advice.
While you no longer have that status level; this information does not get wiped and is still used for seating pre-allocation; all-be-it at a low priority.
Other than that, often the first rows of popular flights are excluded from pre-allocation in case the odd CL wants a flight at short notice; so maybe this is all that was left
