Who gets to control the "window"?
Digitised systems are amenable to networking, which increases the number of options for who or what controls them. The answer is increasingly "not the user", or a gilded cage which gives the impression of user control.
As it is, a manual window provides the passenger with some control of their environment. If the airline seizes control of the window, won't this feed into a feeling of lack of control and increased anxiety in passengers?

If the airline seizes control of the window, won't this feed into a feeling of lack of control and increased anxiety in passengers? The 787 already allows this. Flight attendants can change the window "shades" of the entire plane from a single control.
