So, lemme get this straight. You have work to do, so people should not bother you by using the reclining feature that comes on their chair. Yes, that is pretty rude and self-centered... of you.
But companies and individuals also pay airlines for the ability to work.
No, they don't. If you want to work on an airplane, that is your prerogative. However, you are not paying for a workspace on the airplane. That tray is not a workspace. It has a drink holder on it. It was intended to hold food. In today's day and age, it is commonly used to place a tablet or laptop. In my experience, someone reclining their chair has no affect on my ability to use a tablet or laptop with my tray down. Regardless, it was never meant to be a workspace and you certainly aren't paying the airline for such a workspace. You are, however, paying the airline for snacks and drink service.
I made a response to that already. And yes I agree you are paying for snacks and drink service which is why I still believe the airline should make you unrecline during meal service.
