No, most likely flights are not empty at all. Usually more than 48 hours prior to departure, all those X'ed out seats are reserved for elite MPC or OW members to reserve.
When OLCI opens 48 hours before departure, almost all of those X'ed seats except bassinet rows will become available for anyone to snag.
