If I search for flights the next day, the points are double and there are at least 9 seats available versus only 4 seats available…
The same way cash prices work - more connections are less desirable and thus cheaper. There is more desirable competition if your route is "Asia-ORD with 2 layovers" than "Asia-YYZ with 1 layover". AC prices cash and thus dynamically priced award tickets accordingly.
