It displays a key benefit of the old family pre-boarding system - being able to avoid sitting near children if that was your preference. That is actually a benefit that has never been offered by legacy carriers though I would bet that F is child-free on 90%+ of the flights (more likely on narrow body and non-long haul flights).
