"But I do think it’s reasonable to expect airlines to provide reasonable accomodations to all bodies, without surcharging the people who require slightly more space than others."
Such bullshit. If you expect special accommodations, that costs money. I'm not paying for your fatness to fly, I can barely afford to fly myself! In fact, as a tiny, sub 5 foot girl, maybe I should pay less because I take up less space. That's my thin privilege.

The ONLY people I would ever even say ok to this for are people over a certain height that need more legroom.

That's true. If you're sitting upright in the seat and the distance between your hip and your knee literally cannot fit, I feel for you. Bone isn't as flexible as flesh.

They don't seem to understand that you are not purchasing the right to board the plane. You are purchasing the right to sit in one seat. If you can't fit in that seat, that's not the airline's problem - it's that fatass who can't fit in the one seat that the ticket guarantees.
