Like, I’m on a plane. I don’t want to watch Toy Story when I can do that at home, I want to see what the pilots see. And that way every seat has technically a window to look out of.

Some of them do.
Many do now. They shut it down prior to landing which sucks.
In my country our flag carrier does it because they usually arrive too early and have to circle around which for some reason caused bad reviews.
So they just turned the damn thing off, which makes things worse IMO. This happens with both ouTGoing and incoming flights, unfortunately.
I imagine if the slightest thing seemingly goes wrong it could have a snowball effect.
People rushing in panic in any direction out of fear or curiosity.
Landing a plane that size is hard enough but with all the mass tumbling around makes it even more unpredictable.
The seatbelts aren’t for your safety allone, they also keep your mass in place so the plane doesn’t react unpredictably.
Also a big plus if during the turbulences you’re not getting flailed by the whirling around extremities of a beltless corpse or getting crushed by its torso.
Remember, force equals mass times speed and there can be a lot of accelerstion during turbulences.
Possibly. I do recall a commercial aircraft crashing when a bunch of people ran to the back of the aircraft because an alligator got loose. Something to that effect anyhow. Pretty sure was in Africa. Can’t find a source for that.
Overall large commercial are pretty stable. Don’t think you could effect c of g much laterally but possibly longitudinally you could.
The A350 with Lufthansa for example had it.
Yeah, I’ve seen this on flights since 2010
