It's no punishment. They're taking a seat that could otherwise be sold to another passenger. Southwest should not have to lose that revenue. RE your earlier Denny's post: point well-taken. But what the government does and what it should morally do are two different things.

I don't see where the 'punishment' is. If you require two seats you should pay for two seats.
