If you as a passenger are not going to follow CC instructions then what do you think will happen during an evacuation when you will be instructed to leave everything behind? Get over yourself. When you board any aircraft if the CC say that you have to return to the seat number printed on your boarding pass they are not picking randoms to make themselves feel better. They are doing so because of a reason they don't have to explain. They also would prefer not to as they just want to finish their duty with a minimum of fuss.
I totally agree, this is why lockdown in the high rises (north Melbourne) had to be enforced by police, because some people think they don’t need wear masks, or follow government health warnings, or instructions of any kind, then play the racist card when they get arrested for breaking the law. CC are in charge of the cabin, they are in charge of SAFETY - safety compliance is THE most important part of CC’s JOB, for all the reasons you listed.
