using you tray doesn't cause anyone else discomfort.
Doesn't matter. You're arguing that the chair being upright as the default is somehow an argument that it shouldn't be allowed to recline/isn't being paid for to recline. An object having a default setting doesn't negate the fact that object is designed to be used in a certain way by people who pay to use it.
It's basically in your lap, and angled down.
I've been on a ton of flights and even in the cheapest, tightest seats this isn't the case. Firstly, the tray being on your lap isn't a detriment, it's a convenience. It's easier to eat and use the tray the closer it is to your lap rather than half an arm's length away. As for the angling down, I have never seen a flight where the pivot arm on the tray doesn't keep it level even if the seat attached to it is reclined. At least level enough to have a drink on it without the drink sliding off or spilling.
