In my anecdotal experience, the people complaining about leg room are precisely those who are not paying for additional leg room. (Similar to how people who compare modern air travel with service in the 1960s aren't purchasing the inflation-adjusted equivalent ticket, which would almost always be a lay-flat seat today if not Wheels Up.)

I may be the exception, but as someone who's 194cm tall I am both paying for more legroom and complaining about legroom.

Airlines aren't paying inflation-adjusted equivalents from the 1960s for their expenses either.
