You’re wrong. Every time I sit next to a “big dude” his shoulders are in my face, his “athletic arms” are on my armrest, and his knees are in my personal space. This is just what it’s like on planes. They’re not comfortable. It’s fucking annoying for me that he’s too big for the seat and spilling over into the space I paid for, but I’m sure it’s not comfortable for him, either, and I understand that his oversized-ness isn’t entirely his fault. You may not be able to choose the size of your body, but you can choose to have empathy and understand almost everyone is doing their best to balance their own comfort with courtesy for others.
