It’s not that simple. Business is representing an ever increasing % of travellers, so airlines are increasing the % of business class seating, leaving fewer seats for economy seating and therefore less availability in economy, so you might not even end up seeing the savings in your flight ticket since more economy passengers are competing with each other.

They're degrading economy to the point where people feel like they have to upgrade. I'm not that tall or large but I can no longer tolerate American's economy seating, my knees are jammed into the seat in front of me before they recline, it's down right painful if they choose to recline.

Live in DFW, which is an American hub and my largest option for direct flights and flight availability in general which is why I mention them

If this was true they would raise economy prices.

Is it? I thought that trend reversed in 2020.

I’m not sure you can accurately track any airline-related trend through the years 2021-2023, for obvious reasons.
