That's just a race to the bottom, people will choose the cheaper seat / airline when they see the prices in a list. However, I think it would be different if they saw the leg room difference and amenities. Also, short flight flyers dominate the markets and they care less about being packed into a dirty shoebox with no amenities for two hours to pay $5 less on a ticket. |

People are reasonably well-informed of the difference between the different levels of seating. To pretend otherwise is to claim ignorance of how many up-sell screens every airline tries to push in front of you during ticket purchase. Seating information is built-in to the ticket purchase process, and there are also third-party websites available just for the purpose of telling you about seating.
"Premium economy" tickets still cost less than the cheapest tickets did in the past.
