It's also funny that lately I've gotten emails for TPAC flight that is delayed departure by like a few minutes...and I am on the plane, offer me to rebook, which is just silly...

Yes, but I think the OP is referring to cases where the PS fare at booking is 2x the main cabin fare, but it offers a "special" buy up for $299 one way or something.
The F offers you're talking about are always around the fare difference, and aren't usually anything special. If they program the same for transpac, it would be more readily available and likely increase prices.
I think the OP is talking about $299 PS buy ups and $699 Delta One buy ups that are only when it works in Delta's (anticipated) favor.

But still, I would love to see future buy-up options shown after initial booking, even only priced with fare class difference. Like some of you in this thread said, I am willing to pay a few more for more comfort, if the price is reasonable.

I bought round trip SAN-LAX-PVG for $480, a FCM offer to PS on PVG-LAX immediately showed up as $199. So I took it and applied 45k miles, it cleared right away. I'm pretty surprised since this flight is in Nov.

You are almost right. I have seen $399/$899 one-way buy-up offers on MSP route, and I assumed that was simply the fare difference from coach without any discount.
But still, I would love to see future buy-up options shown after initial booking, even only priced with fare class difference. Like some of you in this thread said, I am willing to pay a few more for more comfort, if the price is reasonable.

For a while this fall/winter, DL was offering a great PS RT fare (class G) on the MSP-HND route, shortly after the PS cabin was introduced. The actual base fare was $1250 which IIRC with taxes and fees meant a ticket price of about $1600 RT, which at times was cheaper than any coach fare.
