I thought that this pass might be good with business flyers who could use Istanbul as a hub city, for weekly corporate flights.
Also, it would be a cheap way, to explore some pretty exotic places.

Not everyone on here is American.No kidding? Wow. I had no idea.
I'm not American either, but I live here. FT's audience is predominantly North American, the site is English, and is owned and hosted by a US company.
And don't hold your breath, soon enough, Erdogan will deny visas to all, even the Swiss.

If it weren't for my busy work schedule and young child, I would have probably booked it (now I am just considering doing so...).

It has the most posts and threads. But that's a bit misleading. That is because AA, DL, and UA had their forums replaced due to airline mergers and so they had their counters reset. If you include the old versions of those airline's forums, they beat out BA in terms of activity.

Note that Air France is included on this offer on flights between CDG and IST!
"Code share flights operated by foreign airlines are not included in the promotion. The only exception for code share flights is that the promotion is valid on the Istanbul-Paris-Istanbul flights operated by Air France."
Wonder if you can get Flying blue miles out of these?

There once was an airline based at Dulles named Presidential Airways. They made a similar desperate offer for a year of weekly flights. Months later they were out of business and the value was gone.

Simple , this is an International website so it may items will or will not be of interest to certain sectors, it could well be majority US, dont feel the need to argue, but that does not make it exclussive. Prices in USD, very common when broadcasting to a global audience,

true, but in my experience AF makes an exception and grants miles if they operate the flight no matter the code. That is at least my experience. Will be interesting if that is true.
