I was also thinking some advanced economy origami seats that fold out into 3 level bunk beds.

Apparently it's all about "safety" - all passengers are supposed to evacuate in 2 minutes or something. Apparently it's quite hard when you are in a pod or something.

I don't care about all the fancy stuff you get in biz, just wanna straighten my body (especially with 20 hour flights becoming a norm). Half of my femur doesn't even fit in economy seat. Heck I could even sleep on that cold as floor, but of course they won't let you.

Exiting the aircraft is more about the other people in the way, than getting out of your seat/pod. But, I can imagine the authorities not caring about that.
Some busses can blow out the windows, so you can exit the bus directly from your seat.

So just pop all the pod passengers out their window portals like torpedos.
