Very valid question. We must assume it indeed works since LH Group has implemented it and is keeping this benefit. Still they remain an exception in the game.
I think we can discuss ad nauseam about how good algos are (they are) whether the guaranteed Y class seat benefit model is transposable to J class (it is).
To me the rational answer to that question is rather... emotional and cultural: AF is not pragmatic and (premium) customer oriented when it comes to their international J. So any innovation that could trigger a risk is moved aside.
