For a situation as yours with AF, I think it would be difficult to improve by changing to a different flight. (It would be different if you had a connecting flight at JFK of course).
Could you give more details on your success with one of the Other airlines, in a similar situation as here, or close enough?

did you read the whole quote from AC?
i have real experience with delays of 1-2 hours, thats why it was very disappointing about AF, i have never been declined to change flights in such cases.
I also remember once with UA a 20 min. change, not affecting the connection & I was able to change to a direct flight.
In the case of an extended delay to an Air Canada, Air Canada Rouge or Air Canada Express flight* which is expected to last:
- 2 hours or more:
- You can change your reservation at no cost by choosing a new departure date within 7 days of your original travel date. If you change your departing flight, you can also, at the same time, choose a new return flight to match the same length of stay, if necessary.

So none of the mentionned airlines would have offer a refund for such delay.
Moreover, it is difficult to consider it as a single delay. The first delay was only one hour (as mentionned in the first post). This one was scheduled.
The second hour is apparently due to a mechanical issue and can't be predicted.

in some quotes its written also refunds & for the other you can find it in the link, all the airlines are offering refunds
regarding the delay, the second delay was 2 additional hours, but it arrived only 2:21 late.
