Honestly, I think this is a good thing. It has always been a bit of an annoyance to me when I have to fly southwest that my ability to get a decent seat comes down to a combination of how quickly I check in and if I want to pay them money to move into a better boarding group. It ends up as an additional source of stress that adds to an already annoyingly stressful process, whereas with every other usual domestic airline, you can pick your seat when getting the ticket, and you won't have to worry about where you end up stuck sitting.

I have found that there seems to be an unwritten code amongst upgraders that we're not going to be terrible flyers (eating crunchy/smelly food, talking loudly on their phone, trying to talk to other passengers that obviously aren't interested). I know Southwest lets you pay extra for early boarding, but you still might end up sitting next to someone that trundles onto the plane with a giant bag of popcorn, takes their shoes and socks off, and wants to talk to you about the election.
