Can buy an award, but not revenue ticket?

Ive actually seen this before on PVR tickets around the holidays and always find it puzzling.

Im looking at buying a biz ticket from PVR-LAS on Nov 29. The flight is J9 JN9. But United wont sell me a ticket with money, only miles. No seats sold so far. Why would this be?

If we are looking at the same flights 29 Nov PVR-IAH-LAS, flights UA6278, UA789 (on a 738), business is available on united.com

I was able to book it, at least as far as processing payment. The fare was $2971.58, which seems a bit high.

Noticed you are using a corporate discount (break from business). Search without being logged in.

Can you book business at a different time of day?
