This is
not something that changed with the recent checked baggage fee hike. It has been this way for a while now.
As for what *Gs get the numbers are a bit confusing and both are listed on the page. I don't know which is correct but I believe it is still the 3x70# benefit.

Correct. CO cut the benefit for F/BF passengers while improving it for *Gs (versus STE+).
