The arguments for 'more space' translating to larger seats for larger people are absurd. An aircraft has a fixed amount of cabin space.
Larger seats with more space ALREADY EXIST. They are the premium seats. (PE, Club and First)
Fewer seats at the back mean more expense - for everyone. Why do you expect those who dont require the space to subsidise those who do?.
Is legislation to be enacted to force the so called 'lo-cost' airlines to become more expensive by having fewer seats to suit the needs of a minority (or will you promise never to fly a lo cost airline)?
If you need more space - pay for it. If you cant fit into the space you've paid for, then you need more space and that costs.
