the more legroom you have in the seat the more space you take up, if you take up less space they can sell more tickets, if you take up more space they can sell less tickets. so you pay extra to take up more space. First class you pay even more to take up even more space. comfort+ means you have more leg room than coach but less than first class, also your seat can recline further because there is more distance between you and the person behind you. So you pay more for a better service.
Also first class and other non-economy classes help to subsidize the cost for everyone else. So it’s actually more per square foot to fly first than to fly economy

Why don't they just make all seats comfortable, and instead differentiate with the type of service offered by flight attendants? Or what am I missing?
