Seats are installed via a track system present on the floor. Seats are part of what’s called BFE, and a flexible track system means you’re not drilling holes in the floor.

Limited loads could be secured in the passenger cabin using the same tracks. Whether or not that actually makes economic sense is a different discussion.

Looks like someone could start making cargo containers that secure into BFE, once the seats are removed...
