There is plenty of inventory to go around. They needed to get in line with their competition. I wish they would do what AA does - allow a refund even after departure. There’s always standbys to fill empty seats at the gate.
Plus, haven’t you posted in the past that you’d call and ask agents to change the date of travel to outside 72 hours to get around this rule, and then cancel? Seems like the pot calling the kettle black.
Let’s enjoy a win for what it is. No need to find a fault in every move they make.
