I'm not sure that's a big problem. This change will benefit folks that already buy tickets in premium classes. It's an incentive to keep buying premium class tickets instead of upgrading.
I buy intl and domestic business most of the time and I don't use my GPUs and RPUs. Why? Cause I'd rather be confirmed in C/F than worry about upgrades. If I need a last minute change, that's easily accommodated. Just need to check which planes have seats, not upgrade space.
