That leaves people in window seats bottlenecked behind families.

Don't seat non-family members there.

And because of all the edge cases and special rules that have been established, we can see why this isn’t a practical approach.

The number of people who are traveling with families is not a trivial number of passengers.

So far we have 2 rules:

- Seat families towards the hull of the plane

- Have them exit last

I don't see a plethora of edge cases here that make this not practical. In fact, this seems very practical to me.
