Speculation correct Rhys!
Same goes for seat backs upright.... if they are back, then it may impede the exit for the passenger seated directly behind, in an emergency.
As for all items requiring stowage for landing, I'm fairly sure that the airlines and manufacturers wouldn't just say it because it sounded good. There'd be a valid safety reason!
As for the window blind down after takeoff... Bahh!!! get a centre seat allocation, sit down and shut up while you watch your IFE. The rest of us want a window so we can still marvel at the amazing science that is FLIGHT!
