What the hell, I could cancel it with no charge. What bonehead made this great decision to stick it to the business traveler

So after doing all the work she cancels it and returns it as was.
Was this an H fare or a Y fare? Not that it matters, but am just curious. Seems ridiculous and rather pointless to charge a change fee on a refundable ticket, no matter how or where it was booked.
