All the required mandatory information is printed on the seat back in front,so no need for the old fashioned safety cards,and the reason there is no seat pocket is so that you can't leave your old rubbish/melted chocolate/sticky sweets/banana skins etc...
You failed to mention you were obviously travelling in a brand new 737-800 though!!
Oh almost forgot,you also for got to mention the leather seats,which,contrary to what you said cost more!
