Why aeroplane seats don't always line up with the windows

There are roughly 102,465 commercial flights each day which, over a year, equates to about four billion air passengers per year. That's over half of the world's population who've sat on a flight, often for hours on end, and had time to think about planes and ask questions about them. So we now know the crucial function of those tiny holes in aeroplane windows which previously might have made you panic mildly. We also know which drink order makes a flight attendant's life a LOT harder . And if you've ever wondered why aeroplane seats aren't always aligned with the windows, then there's an answer for that too.
While the entire design and engineering of planes is done to ensure passenger safety, this does not extend to seat alignment. Airlines are essentially business who want to make money - and they make money by getting as many bums on seats as possible. To this end, according to YouTube channel Today I Found Out , airlines have complete control over how many rows of seats are inside the cabin, and how they are positioned. It's completely random and not done with any sort of aesthetic effect in mind. So…..you may just be lucky enough to have your seat perfectly aligned with a window.
