Of all the horrible air travel experiences I've had, my absolute worst was an eleven hour flight from Narita to Pearson on a United 747.

It's easy to take the pedantic side and decry this as a foolish ruling but I counter that anyone that's been on a flight knows that not every "window" seat has a window. It's unfortunate that the common parlance doesn't match reality but that's how it is 🤷♂️
And it's almost pathetic that the way to solve this is through legislation.
If they made the windows really small but gave me good movies to watch, I'd watch the movie lol. Those windows must cost a fortune to carry around from place to place. Just remove the windows and replace them with a phone holder. For those of us who love watching around the window, why not provide a 40 MP camera that we can all hookup to via Bluetooth? We can take cool videos outside the plane. Maybe even pictures we never through about like a stabilized camera on the wing tip that takes video or photos of all the win...plane fuselage so you can tell your friends which part of the plane you were sitting at?
