Have Turkish Airlines really lost it with these op-up procedures?

No, I think it would be me to be honest, not LH4114 (thatjonasguy on Instagram). 
I don't fly TK economy that often anymore, so I can't really say, but I used to buy TK comfort class and I was often upgraded between ARN and IST. Never on long haul though. I have even been upgraded when Eco wasn't full.

Maybe it is up to the outstation and that ARN is a bit more liberal. But, ARN-IST is very often oversold, especially during the vacation period of the year. I noticed one flight a couple of months ago where they upgraded Star Alliance Silver even. I overheard the GA telling the guy who got a new BP that due to the fact that he is *S, he got upgraded on this full flight.

Now when I think of it, the feeder segment in a Comfort Class itinerary books in Y, and since they go after booking class within the same status group I guess the combination of Y fare code and Elite Plus puts you at the very top on the upgrade list.
