I know, just saying it's a bit harsh that award flights are treated this way. In fact one day I hope there is a legal case that ends this practice by all airlines once and for all, because if you've paid for all legs then you should be able to use whichever ones you like and discard whichever ones you don't for whatever reason you like...

Spot on. In my entire life I have never booked a return flight award. Only one-way redemptions each and every time.
