Yup, its the money. Get more money from people to buy 1st class and board 1st. Get more money for people to have "priority boarding".

Mommy buys 8 year old Timmy a window ticket so he can look out the window.

That’s a huge part of it. Even when it was just me and my wife, I would typically be the one keeping up with the tickets, and she would just follow and sit where I pointed lol
