The space the seat reclines into isn't your space.

I disagree. I could reach into that space when I sat down and now I can't.

Think of it this way: my house has 8 foot ceilings. I'm only 6 foot tall, so I could lower my ceilings by almost two feet and not hit my head. But it would certainly impact my comfort level inside my house.

You can reach into the space next to you before someone sits down too. Does that make it your space or their space that they haven't occupied yet?
