You would think, but that wasn't what he thought to be unfair. He objected to people being moved to F when the flight was full and there were no other seats available. Here's his quote:
The issue you outline is a different story entirely. Skankap objected to people being moved to F when the plane was full and there were additional non-F passengers needing to fly. Somehow it is unfair to him that rather than leaving people on the ground, the airline would move passengers into F. Somehow he is okay if the F cabin is full of medallions on A fares, but it becomes a different experience for him when it's kettles on LUTs. Maybe the Biscoff are cinnamonier when the cabin is full of people that meet his standards?

His point is, and I agree, that random, that is, without reason such as status, fees, etc., upgrades impact negatively on those already in those seats by changing the perceived comfort and exclusively of those seats. I asked again, given a choice, would you prefer the middle EC seat between you and your row mate to be empty or occupied by the former 42E?
How many times do we read about the preference between light and heavy loads on flights since additional personal space is coveted?
I find NRSA upgrades to BE to be annoying on a TATL though I guess since they are part of the contract they fit the "earned upgrade" definition.

Look at your own post 107. You misinterpreted his original question and made it into a flame war. You did it again here. His observation of SQ process was informative and speaks to how SQ views the world.

If airlines aren't going to OpUp passengers to the premium cabin, then they shouldn't oversell the Y cabin in the first place.
If you want to guarantee empty space around you, buy several seats or lease a private jet.
