@SamG – there is a ‘technical restriction’ in that once the airline has rerouted you and you have accepted that rerouting, even if it is with a downgrade, they have no further obligation so it becomes a matter of goodwill. That’s why one needs to be sure to understand/research the options and get the most desirable/least bad option at the outset.
Also, availability that shows at this late stage isn’t necessarily very reliable, particularly when down to a very small number of seats.
