I'll even book a Z fare if the price is right. If I've booked on a flight pass I'll switch it to a T+ a week before if there's R space or to a better flight if J>0 two days before.
You are proof that ACs strategy is working, so why should they change it?
They are getting you to book latitude or Z instead of T+ and upgrading, unless it is so wide open that they actually open some R space.

Win win for AC.
