Interesting, I find it refreshingly egalitarian and not classist and extractive.

It really bothers me how other airlines treat seating as a way to further bleed customers of money and create tiers.

Nothing forces them to charge extra for seat assignments!

There are still a couple that include free seat assignments (within your booking class, and without introducing a fake "basic economy" class without assigned seats), and that's by far my preferred seating model.
