Aircraft are not assigned to the same routes at the same times every day. They're chopped and changed all the time. It's impossible to have different configurations for different aircraft.

Small planes are not used on long routes though, and similarly, large planes are seldom used for short routes.

So they could disable recling seats on short flights with no problem.
