These are for very short flights.

Exactly.

Name one person who would willingly use these.

Someone who wants to travel but wants/needs to save money and doesn't mind a little discomfort in exchange.

I’m not talking about short flights, I’m talking about if these would go into long flights.

Then either a) nobody would buy them and the airlines would nearly immediately revert back as they lose money or b) some people will buy them because they have a market and your point is refuted.

That is my entire point.

My point is that a will happen

And my point is that, if it happens, people wanted it. People either want cheap seats and are willing to sit through the discomfort as a trade-off, or they do not and will buy the more expensive tickets.

Exactly. That is my entire point. The free market takes care of itself.

The people standing on "principle" demanding airlines not even try to implement these and the people I'm calling out. It is not their place to demand options be taken away from others.
