It may be true that it does help to keep people seated, which is a bonus. But that wasn't the original intention when they started in flight meals. In fact back in those days air travel was for the rich and famous mainly. And providing a meal was regarded as part of the pampering that the rich would expect. After all they did it on ships and trains.
