I have not yet seen a major legacy airline, in North America or elsewhere, introduce pure one-way FF awards (at 50% of RT) without also featuring limitations that often result in additional miles being spent, or otherwise frustrate the usage of the miles. And keep in mind, "limitations" need not only refer to stopovers; COers benefit from having a pretty generous routing ability on awards, and that would likely go away under one-way awards as well.
