Seat pitch has decreased significantly since the internet was invented. It's hard to take seriously any discussion that doesn't take that into account.

(Also, a lot more people have laptops than in the '90s. IME it's not possible to use laptops in coach if the seat in front is at all reclined, though I seldom see this mentioned.)

Yeah, I notice that too. When I bring a laptop there's about 50/50 chance I can actually use it.

Still, miracle of flight and all that. Still beats walking.
