Does anyone can think of a reason for them holding availability?
Yes, sure. It's an economic epic height at the moment and CX has realistic chances to sell these seats for real money. Your miles money would become good again, when the world is in an economic bear situation.

Economists do predict the bear situation to start next year and have a depth similar to 10 years ago. Reasons:
- Soapy stock exchange
- Severely increasing world-wide trade protectionism, with Mr US-First in the drivers seat.
- Extremely unreliable Mr. US-First behaviour.
- Significant increase in interest.
- Extreme debts for governments and general public.
- Cold Brexit.
