Apples and oranges. Military transport is non-profit, 100% paid for with tax dollars, with the bulk of passengers being adult males, while commercial flights operate on ultra slim margins, where cramming in as many as possible can mean the difference between profit and loss on a flight. They carry a mix of kids, women and men, with only the tall people suffering the consequences of their profit motivated seat pitch reductions. In commercial flights, the only seats in economy class with comfortable leg room for tall people are the emergency exit rows and those that have bulkheads in front of them, a tiny percentage compared to those sideways facing military ones, which I'd bet are reserved for those over a designated height.
