Spoiled in Australia by QF...

In Econ good food and drinks were offered even for the short flight between MEL and SYD. That's what competition does.

What you described is common (seating a family "together" and sacrificing a singleton for it). Sorry to hear that happened.
But just to note, a metal swap can also mean to the same aircraft type but different FIN - and occasionally this can even result in seat changes (especially when the cabin seating configs are not identical from one FIN to another, even if the same metal type).
