Perhaps their goal is to hide basic economy fares so people don’t always realize how much the pricing premium for elite benefits and seat assignments is. The difference has been creeping up, just as most of us predicted it would when BE was introduced, and it’s possible they have reached a pain threshold where they are starting to see more people opt for the BE fare (which isn’t actually the goal)...
