777W -Very Short Business Pitch

Business 777-300ER has a really short seat pitch. I was looking at booking a flight on this bird. Unless I am in first class, I will avoid this plane. Unless you are short and real wide it will be hard to get comfortable in business. My oversized recliner at home has a seat width of 22 inches. I can comfortably place one of my arms on each of the chair's arms. If the seat is wider than 22 inches I could only rest one of my arms at a time one the seat's arms. These SQ seats are like small couches. If you have a dog or a cat sitting next to you they would be fine. I guess that taller people have to sleep on their side in a fetal position when the seat is fully reclined to make room for their long legs. What is the logic behind this seat? Am I missing something?
