I assumed for reasons related to airline (the flight had too many tickets sold, or a flight had to be cancelled due to breakdowns or weather and passengers reaccommodated, or the flight had too few tickets sold and the airline wants to save fuel by not flying at all and compensating the passengers...)

Does it mean that passengers with valid tickets are entitled to flight - the airline cannot just give full refund plus compensation and not fly the passenger at all, even if they want to?
