Indeed. They are also an appalling advert for Boeing build quality; I don't know if Boeing manufacture their own passenger cabins or outsource it, but I've never been on a 737 which didn't show signs of poor fit/finish, with misaligned components and normally at least one aircon/light/masks panel hanging half out of the roof.
I was on a releatively 'modern' 737ng at the weekend and remain astonished at how many seats "benefit" from having no window at all, as I understand because of the routing of aircon ducts. That is just sheer laziness.
Mind, I was on a 787 last week and was reminded that Boeing apparently shop for plastics and cabin fittings at the same place as British Leyland in the 70s, so hardly a surprise I guess.
