This is a good point: the number of such incidents is so low the cost (including social resistance) doesn't make it worth it.

I would like it because I mostly sleep on the plane. Also I take a lot of transoceanic flights (or did pre covid) which seem to have more turbulence than transcontinental ones (perhaps less discretion for rerouting, especially ETOPS flights?).

I miss the back-facing seats which I always chose when I had the option, as they are much safer (except for the risk of flying debris).
