Question "Bonus" EQP - how often?

Perhaps it's because I'm highlighting them on my spreadsheet, but it seems like the number of segments for which I received "bonus" EQP (more than the proper number for my booking code) this year is fairly high. So far, I've received such a bonus on 4 of the 30 segments which have posted this year -- more than 10%.

One thing which seems to cause this fairly often is a flight change processed by a TA or AAngel. Presumably they're changing the ticket to Y (or the cheapest class available) when the original fare class isn't available on the flight to which I'm changing.

Does this match others' experiences?
