I'd appreciate that this possibly could make airline economy flights better, if I believed that airlines had nonzero interest in improving the experiences they offer their economy passengers. Airlines are interested in three things: more paid passengers in the same cabin volume, less weight per seat, and less turnaround cost on the ground. I'm not sure how the new seat design serves any of those factors.
