My reason: the window is a glimpse into the world of operating the train. You passively learn about the signal system, track layout and other neat things just by standing there. If you have an engineering-oriented mind, it is simply interesting to watch.

That said, fighting over it is dumb, and if there is anyone under 12 who looks like they want the window I will step away and take a seat.

I've spent the last few weeks in Japan. I will tell you, there are a hell of a lot more railfans, and a hell of a lot more railfan windows. Every 3 or 4 stops you will see someone taking a picture of the front of the train. Railroad crossings as well. Maybe that happens here in NY as well, but I wouldn't know, because there is no window to stand at to see this happen...
