I'm pretty sure that "made 72 hours prior to check-in" means between 72 and 0 hours of scheduled check-in.
No penalty up to 72 hours, this penalty afterwards.

What part of "or changes" in the penalty term doesn't apply to this change?

Bzzzt.
Hotels are a bit smarter than you give them credit for. When I last called for an after-deadline change, the property asked me for the flight number that was cancelled, and verified it. I had stayed there every week for 6 months.
