They’d be right if that’s how people referred to the outer seats, but it’s not. It’s not like “boneless chicken wings” where you know it’s not an actual deboned chicken wing. There is no question that people say window seat to mean a seat next to a window and not the opposite of an aisle seat.

wait what? What's a boneless chicken wing then?
(Don't think I've ever heard that phrase but I'd assume it's a chicken wing with the bones removed)
Boneless wings are breast meat that has been shaped to look like bone-in meat. That’s why it’s called a boneless wing, not because it’s literally a deboned wing.
Edit: clarified the shape

Maybe they should use AI to tell them what a fucking window is. If it only promises a fuselage seat then it should say fuselage seat and not window seat. Friggin scammers.
What's beside the aisle seats? Could it perchance be aisle on every single one? Hmm.
ZSSK seems to think the same:
No indication there's no windows (same for the single seat at the end) during selection. In the cart it even mentions the window. You just... gotta know the train already.

Hey, I also bought a ticket where the description said "seat next to the table", and there was none, though to be fair the diagram did not show it, just howering the mouse above the seat did. Also 1st class in that case.

Window seat?? No no, we said widow seat.
As someone who picks a window seat specifically for the view I agree the airline websites need to make this clearer but it's super common to allow for air ducts in the plane. If you check the seat map on Aerolopa this is easily avoided (except when there's an aircraft swap). Avoid SeatGuru, it's often very outdated and even when correct for seats the window positions are incorrect.
In any case if you're on a flight longer than a couple hours you're not allowed to open them anyway, they make you keep em shut so people can nap 🙈 But it's fun to look out for the takeoff and landing. But the planes that tint the windows are the best.
Nah you're still allowed to open them to smoke
