Just because OP may be entitled to some compensation in your view doesn't mean that AC did some horrible outrageous thing here. No airline can predict how every particular passenger would like to be reaccommodated in irrops.
Apologies -- Clickbait wasn't my intention when I used the word 'switched' in the title. I just didn't know what else to call it. What AC did 'wrong' was not listening to me at the TPE counter when I asked for a later flight and after I said we were fine with being in YVR a few hours if that's what it would take. Putting us on Rouge was egregious, but not outrageous, as you say, and they were surely working on the usual assumption that people want to get to their destinations as quickly as possible.
