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?

You really could have asked him to move.If he refused then you could have got an air hostess to deal with him.On planes everyone should be in the seat they paid for and were assigned to.He could even have been tossed off the plane for his behaviour.The airlines will not tolerate passengers sitting in seats they were not allocated.
