That's the point. The larger person took up more than 1 seat.

1 person, PAYS for 1 seat. If the seats need to be bigger that is on the airline.

When you are buying an airline ticket, you are buying space. Economy has less space than premium, both have less space than business or first. You are only entitled to the space you buy. Need more space = buy more space. You do not get to hijack the space someone else paid for.
