Basically that.

The thing is I'm not particularly so much of a princess that I actually need F on a 45-150 minute flight time. And given what everyone does these days for monetizing F it's not particularly likely to be there for a free upgrade anyway.

WN's product was perfectly fine at giving you a decent coach product on a short to midhaul flight, before the beancounters and private equity disemboweled the product. Which is quite often all I want, at a reasonable price, with non-punitive policies for things like changing flights.
