Oh wow, I never knew! Esp. the windows up thingy! “Why the annoying rules pertaining to window shades, seat backs, tray tables, and cabin lights during takeoffs and landings?” Answer: “Your tray has to be latched so that, in the event of an impact or sudden deceleration, you don’t impale yourself on it. The restriction on seat recline provides easier access to the aisle and also keeps your body in the safest position.” Raising your window shade, meanwhile, “Makes it easier for the flight attendants to assess any exterior hazards— fire, debris — that might interfere with an emergency evacuation.” Dimming the lights is the same precaution.
