Not exactly a like for like comparison as the ticket conditions are completely different.
You're the one that made the "cheaper fare" point, and you were wrong - there are plenty of ways someone on an HBO fare could be paying more than a fellow passenger.
Indeed, I think the fact that they've removed seat selection from EVERY HBO fare, up to and including the full Y HBO fare, is indeed one of the most egregious aspects of this policy change.
