It's definitely a downgrade, but much less of a downgrade than not making the flight at all...
The GA didn't do the OP a favor, it was their job! It's not like the OP was getting loaded in the airport bar or arrived late at the airport, he/she was connecting from another flight.
I wonder if the GA knew that the two missing pax were in F. If so, the GA could have told the FA when the manifest was turned over that we're still waiting for 2 F pax from a connecting flight. I blame this more on miscommunication between the GA and FA than anything else.
I agree with you though that Scott has better things to do on a holiday weekend than sit around waiting for our gripes.
