I wonder why children cry at all. Isn't that evolutionary stupid to cry so loud so much? My only idea is that children cries is a side-effect of their brain development.

If the child is in a group of other humans, the louder it cries the more likely it is to be noticed. The more annoying the cry is to other people, the more likely it is to get help. Humans always lived in groups, so being loud and annoying has huge evolutionary advantages over being quiet.
Even today children crying gets them shaken violently in some cultres. I can't imagine pre-historic humans to be more well-tempered and tolerant than today. It doesn't make sense.
Pretty lame for society to be so intolerant of children. Was everyone just born into adulthood complete with manners?? Smh.
Society isn't intolerant of children, society sees that there is a market for increased comfort in airlines, and that "peace and quiet" is an integral part of comfort.
They aren't charging more for children to fly.

From what I know, the crying is due to the change in pressure that affects babies inner ears during takeoff and landing.

Crying is, by its very nature and purpose, difficult to tolerate and ignore. Even for loving parents, taking a baby on a flight can be incredibly tiring and trying. What's wrong with offering passengers the chance to be a few rows away from the noise?
Ear plugs and noise-canceling headphones (Bose QuietComfort for example) work really really well. Turn up the music/white noise to get past the ear plugs just a little bit. No sounds get past this.

But mostly I get the impression that jerks like me did enough grumbling, and this is a way for the airline to seem like they give a crap, which of course they do not.

Why do they cry on a bus or on a street even?
What is 10x more infuriating is a six year old screaming at the top of its lungs, with the parents either ignoring or smiling happily.
