Why didn't I tell the guy sitting in my window seat to move?

I am on a plane. I buy my tickets early in order to secure a window seat. I don't like the aisle.
I have priority so I board pretty early. I get to my seat and some guy is strapped in tight.

Im not afraid of anyone but sometimes I just choose the path of least resistance. So I said hello and he seemed friendly enough so I just sat down in the aisle seat. At least its not a middle seat.
But then Im wondering did he really not realize that he didn't purchase a window seat?

It’s been awhile since I’ve flown (2014) but I’m guessing that had you wanted to pursue the matter a flight attendant might’ve been able to assist and then it would’ve been clearer whether the person was trying to get over or had honestly thought they could sit in any of the seats on the row.

@bijouxbroussard You are correct but I don't like to bother people when everyone is boarding, a baby was crying. I saw a lady do this just last week ( ask about a seat dispute) when I flew out and the flight attendant seemed so nice on the outside but so turned her back and rolled eyes at the woman where only me and another passenger could see. I overthink stuff.
