Selecting one of the connecting alternatives presents me with an option to "Confirm Flight Changes," not "we will let you know if we need you." Laptop/browser does the same as mobile app.

I'm gonna pass on the zero dollar offer to double my flight time.

This isn't new. They might get someone for whom the other options are better. I took advantage of one of these one time -- ended up on a flight I originally wanted anyway but was more expensive at the time of booking.
