I prefer SQ over CX in Y (but CX over SQ in J and F). SQ's entertainment system is great. I also don't like CX's policy of running short features on short hauls. I prefer full-length films and features no matter how short a trip is, which is what SQ does on its most services.

How much capacity would CX loose by extending legroom to 34"? Well, 32->34" change is loss of 6.25%. Assuming detailing of seat configuration induce additional losses, say 7% of Y-cabin space is lost. If the flight is fully sold out, that's almost a loss of 7% revenue in average.
Great ideas for travellers, but I bet CX management would refuse.

If an airline consistently flies with empty seats, it probably makes sense to take a few out.
