You are quite right. And as mentioned above, HX is primarily for HKG based pax (or those at the other end of the route).
But those fares have been around for a while, even before all the bad rumors on HX. And they can be available even for near-term departure.
Anyway, I hope that HX survives given my excellent experience. I go to DPS with wifey a couple of times (week stay) a year and GA 738 J (10K) or regional CX/KA (18K) are bad alternatives.
