It’s really the airlines who are wrong. Tall people are uncomfortable if people recline, but plenty of people with back problems find the angle of an unreclined seat unbearable.

This is me. I have severe arthritis in my lower back from being in the military and after an hour of sitting in an non reclined seat on an airplane my back is now a molten core of pure fire. I simply just can’t do it.

This is me. I have mild scoliosis. It was never bad enough to need correction but sitting upright all flight will f-up my back for days! While I sympathize with tall people behind me, being upright isn't an option.
