People who ignore assigned seating at theaters: what motivates you?

If you're asking honestly and we're not supposed to just pretend we're all some kind of hive mind, I'll tell you my answer... I hate assigned seating, think it's stupid and draconian, and that the people who complain about this want the pretension of this imagined reserved seating that you only get at an opera house, and are oblivious that everyone else just showed and expects it to be like a regular theater, and does not want to owe it to you to get out of your way just because you bought a ticket five minutes ahead and left.

So when I go in and the theater is empty, my feeling is, I didn't come here to bully people out of my seat, I came because it was the closest theater, I paid the same price, and I don't want to sit in the front just because the theater wants to play pretend. If someone asks me to move I obviously will, of course, but no one ever does, most people just want to watch a show and are clueless to where the ticket says they're "supposed" to be, and sit wherever.
