Wondering what the pros of paying for an MCE exit row seat are? Early boarding and a bit more room are not important to me, I'm at the back of the bird so will get on early enough to store my bag and I'm not very tall. Chances of not being around children? Is that a thing? What am I missing?

Once I was boarding in the middle of the crowd and a coach PAX ahead of me placed his suitcase right above my F seat and continued walking toward the back of the plane. There was no longer an empty space for my carry-on in the overhead bins in F. I promptly removed the suitcase and put my backpack in the overhead in its place. Somebody later took care of the guy's suitcase, I don't remember who now. I'll do it again, if necessary.
