It's done for a very simple reason. It is done to stop people buying tickets from ATL to DFW with a stop in SLC because they want to get to SLC and the ticket to DFW is cheaper. If it was allowed, people would be booking all kinds of seats with no intent of ever using them. It's not good business for us (the airlines) to let airplanes fly around empty because a bunch of tickets were bought and never used. I do think that in you situation, you should only have to pay the change fee and not the extra $1000.
