Almost. It’s not an oversale situation as (with P+ seats sold as economy) there are more Y seats on the Polaris/P+ plane (232 vs 221/217). It’s to minimize disruption with seat assignments if a an non-retrofit plane (3-3-3) is switched for a Polaris/P+ (3-4-3) or vice versa. If a couple chose FG and then the plane is switched to a 3-3-3 then they’d be split up.
