I mean they are fundamentaly different businesses. Additionally, given demand for flights, airlines know they’ll sell their seats regardless of configuration, because you’re primarily buying transit not an experience. However, for venues, they seem to believe that single seats won’t sell (and I suspect that’s backed by data they’ve collected).
Also, to be pedantic, restaurants do have stipulations about the quantity of steak you buy, it’s just broken down by Ounces. If they only sell 16oz steaks you probably aren’t going to be able to order a 10 Oz steak. If you wanted 10oz you’ll be stuck with an extra 6oz exactly like with the seats.
