> There is no way an aircraft seat that can rotate would get airline approval for economy class Why's that?

  Because it would mess up in flight service, would be a mess when it comes to having people get up and go to the loo, would be hard to keep an eye on during ascent/descent and so on, and besides it would only work for the outer seats of a row, and somehow the geometry of the inner seats would have to remain undisturbed (shared arm rests), and that's before we get to talk about the weight. It's a funny idea which works on trains because the rows are much narrower and the weight isn't a consideration, nor do trains typically have in transit meal service tray tables mounted in the backs of the seats before them.
