Are there scenarios (besides loading issues, and deadheading crews) where there are seats available for purchase in First, and an MVP 100K is #1 on the upgrade list but yet not upgraded?

I cancelled a few of those but to be a bit more accurate, I'm flying transcon basically every other day for half a month

Jan 17 18 break 20 21 break 23 24 break break 27 28 break break 31, Feb 1 -- not pictured, Flight 27 JFK-SFO / 2,586 / 3,879 / 6,465 (flight hasn't landed yet) -- once the flight lands, I'll be a bit over halfway to 100K

SDC from the 1st flight of the day (was upgraded at T-120 there) — was #1 on WL when I did the SDC with 2 open seats, moved to 1 open seat around T-24… I was upgraded somewhere around T-16; had preordered a F&C plate after SDC which was honored (no Brie today….) .
