Since Southwest was the only airline that flies nonstop for wherever my family lives and still has free luggage it’s never been that big of a deal about not pre-selecting seats. You were always assign different sections and then you just pick your seats.
My guess is reason why Southwest is changing is because they are going to start putting a dollar amount on each seat or area.
So no more free seat flying with Southwest.

Our family visits in the summertime, so our sons are very happy with having an entire row to themselves. Now they have to pre choose, that luxury may not be as easy. In high season they just meet half way and drop a car at friends.
Neither has kids, so not a fan of flying during Mouse House season
