A: The masses who buy airline tickets based on one thing, and one thing only; low price. Airlines are simply giving most people what they demand. If people really cared about those things you list, Spirit, Frontier, SouthWest, Allegiant and all the other "discount" airlines wouldn't exist, yet they're always packed full.

If you're willing to pay more for First/Business Class, you still get large seats, meals, more leg room, better service, etc. Buy cheap tickets, get cheap service.
