Why don't airlines have larger sized seats for plus sized people?

They could probably charge a little more for them, instead of making the flying experience a nightmare for some people.

They do, economy plus, business, business plus and of course for the ginormous people first class.

That would mean fewer seats on the plane. Which would mean fewer paying customers on a flight.

It would be very useful and more comfortable for them, but at the same time many overweight people would take offence. It would be another form of what they'd refer to as "being singled out". Like a child finally getting their own way only to in the end be like "NO! I don't want it!".

Because being 'plus-sized' is unhealthy. As a people, we should not encourage unhealthy behavior. Smokers, overweight people, addicts… All are drains on our health care systems. Their problems take research and money from issues that affect children and others who don't walk around trying to kill themselves.

They DO! They're called "First Class" and they cost at least twice what the cheap seats cost. Of course, you get free drinks and a meal with those seats too.

Because fat people would weigh down the plane thus making it crash

Even if an airline had larger seats for plus-size passengers and charged a plus-size passenger extra to sit in it, some other passenger would STILL end up sitting next to the plus-size passenger who is sitting in the larger seat.

They usually have business and first class seats available.
They charge more than a 'little more' however.

The point is that seats have a standardized width. If there's a wider seat somewhere, it takes room away from another seat.
So either the plane interior furnishing has one wider seat at every row and the airplane fuselage is wider as a consequence (and that depends on Mr. Boeing and Airbus to have it designed that way) or they don't have it and here is not the right place to complain about it.

You can get charged for two seats if you are too big to fit in one.
