It has been a benefit since OneWorld was formed. Most carriers block certain seats, e.g. QF block forward cabins generally to OneWorld elites. Often you can also only pre-reserve if you are a OneWorld elite.

The OneWorld page might enlighten you:

In practise you really need to be a Sapphire or Emerald to get anything really decent though.
