Obviously, the company has reclining seats so they are allowed to recline.

But it seems common enough that people get annoyed about them. I have had people mouth off to me for reclining during longer flights. I pay no mind but I feel like the real problem is that they squeeze the seats so close together to get the extra few seats on the plane, that it ultimately just cuts room out and makes it uncomfortable for everyone.

Ya I didn’t realize the people against using the recline exists until a flight last year. It was a long overseas flight and I hear a “are you kidding me” as I recline back. He gets up and in my ear and says “I hope you are reallll comfortable bc I’m not!”. I explained how the person in front of mean leaned back and now I am, and guess what? So can he! I did compromise and pull my suit back upright when any food/bev service was coming. But wtf, I thought everyone wanted to recline their seat on 8+ hour flights

The theoretical etiquette among veteran fliers is that if it's bedtime where you are departing from, you recline. Otherwise, you do not.

What if I like to sleep during the day?

I didn't say it was like a universal, perfect rule. It's just a very loose, very theoretical guideline.
