Running the math, even the "first class upgrade" section is more expensive than just paying it out of pocket in seat selection. The fee came out to $45 a person including taxes, but there's a $48 difference between MC and PCU in their chart.
The fee and upgrade structure was announced at the same time as Premium class. Upgrade policy started January 1, 2017, if I recall correctly. You may have been purchasing fares above GTR if you haven't seen it since then.
