New B77W F - advance seat selection to only 25%

Greetings, fellow OZ flyers. I have an upcoming JFK-ICN trip in the new OZ F Suites and I'm quite disturbed by a recent change I wasn't expecting. I called OZ's reservations and the agent informed me that there is only one aisle seat available for advance seat selection on my flight. When I politely asked her how many seats were left for the sale, she stated 6. Thus, when I inquired as to why there is only one seat left, she stated that it is OZ's policy to only assign 50% of seats in advance, but clearly, if the flight is booked with 2 F guests out of a total F capacity of 8 and there is only one seat left for advance selection, then quantitatively, it is beyond clear that OZ is only willing to assign 25% of the F seats in advance, not 50% as it did in the past. Has anyone encountered a similar experience on a flight operated by the new B77W?
