I hear what you say but my point is that I feel the carriers should make special provision for folks of abnormal height. I can't help my length any more than a handicapped person can help their affliction yet I am being penalised. I once flew an Americam Airline (!) jammed in cattle class in absoulute bloody agony and the three seats by the starboard side exit with ten feet of leg room were occupied by, wait for it, three of this Amercan Airline (!) cabin staff on a freebee to the UK. This was disclosed to me by a young junior member of the cabin crew who said she was embarrased and disgusted but there was nothing she could do.
