Outside of financial services I don't know how much business travel is really in full fare/full flex. Everywhere I've ever worked (in technology) has always required we book lowest cost fare (even when permitted to fly premium cabins). One of the reason the SDC benefit for elites on the US carriers is so liked is it gives some of that flexibility of full fare tickets for free.
You're correct that the more short notice type of business bookings does limit the impact somewhat as I guess schedule changes are less frequent close in. Although I have had 2+ hr shifts of flight times the night before a flight, which on a day trip can make the whole journey unviable.
