How do you reckon there are 100 seats available in Y?

If it's allocated seats that you're looking at, it's meaningless. What counts is availability of fare buckets.

To add to this, you can't add the availability in different fare classes within the same cabin to get a total. If the airline is willing to sell a seat in a cheap fare class then they are also willing to sell the same physical seat in all the more expensive fare classes.
