All the -300s are leased, I believe only one -200 is leased. There was talk of offloading the -300s a coupe of years back but this didn't materialise. Maybe there is a medium term plan again to offload the -300s and maybe this influenced the decision to not refit Y? Refitting Y is costlier than a a smaller J cabin. Justs a guess.
