The only problem with the “race to the bottom” with airlines is the lack of tools to allow easy comparison of like with like, which in turn means airlines don’t (yet) have many different sized seats and service levels on a plane.
One day we’ll see flight aggregators that allow you to specify how much luggage you have, how tall you are, what kind of seat you want, if you want a decent meal, etc, and will give you a unified seat price.
