I don't think a single biz class ticket was sold for this plane because the whole of the cabin was treated as Economy.
Have experienced the same before on a business class flight, when I could pick a seat in the first class section. During flight no curtain and BC food in FC seats. Explanation was that they did not have a single booking for first class, so they opened that space up for any BC traveller.
On your flight to RUH, it could have been a 3-cabin replacement aircraft for the 2-cabin plane that normally serves that route.
