I cannot see CO adding all that extra soft product for a Y sub-class, even if there is a potential for incremental revenue.
Except for the upgraded meal (VX just makes its onboard menu choices free), the soft product I've listed out already exists - it's just a matter of packaging the items into a price level that would trigger buying while maintaining a decent cost margin. No different than offering free checked bags to PPlus card holders.
