More likely, I believe it's done to create a clear delineation between Business Class and Coach. Business Class = single digit numbers, Coach = double digit numbers. Makes it a little less plausible when the kettle tries to self-upgrade to 3A, feigning ignorance that they were actually assigned to 10A.

10A isn't so bad
Lots of legroom, nice window view

But compared to a BC seat: no free booze, no snack basket and no generous seat width. Actually saw a woman try to self-upgrade on a DL flight (BWI-ATL) I took last week. She acted all confused when the seat's rightful owners showed up toward the end of boarding. Really lady? Those overhead numbers are that hard to interpret, especially when they are physically divided by a curtain?

When free upgrades are unavailable I usually remember to ask if 10C is available - I prefer this seat to those in the exit row.
