Most people travelling in F on such flights, I suspect are doing so as part of a larger itinerary. Many international C customers start at smaller airports and need regional jets to connect to the main flight.
The OP said he used an RPU so I presume he did not use it just for this segment (which he says he doesn't care about sitting in F anyway) so maybe he was heading on a transcon or the like.
