What’s people’s experience with paying, or rather not paying, to choose seats when booking seats with Avios?

I recently flew long haul business class with my partner using Avios and a companion voucher and as well as airport taxes we also ended up posting to choose seats so we were sat together, both legs. The seat bookings added about £500 to the booking and I can’t help but think I was held hostage 🤣

I didn’t want to risk not sitting next to my Mrs for 8 hours for what was an exciting part of the holiday for us. (I know some people would love this 🤣).

Do you guys always choose seats? Or are you always sat together anyway or what?
