I just can't imagine caring that much about who else might be there.

People keep saying that, but I am with the person you are responding to. I don't have any idea how you would know in most cases how another passenger came to be sitting up front? Just in the last couple of months I have WFBF, I've used upgrade certificates, FCM, I've received "Medallion Upgrades" anywhere from 5 days to 1 day out, I have been gate upgraded, and I have had battlefield upgrades where I was pulled up from the back. Out of all of those options, only the gate upgrade and battlefield upgrades would be visible to other passengers.
I just can't imagine caring that much about who else might be there.

I generally just ignore these people and act like I didn't hear them.

Not the longest I’ve experienced, but this past Tuesday afternoon I was 17 of 59 on a K fare TPA-ATL on an A321. There were many diamonds in the back as well.

Ed Bastian has been reported to be on this route in FC so that’s one less seat for paying customers. Apparently he lives full time down there and commutes. Must be nice!
