Round-trip vs. multi-city: involuntary itinerary changes

$

A recent thread is about involuntary itinerary changes on award travel. My question here isn't specifically about award travel, so I'm asking separately.

The CoC (cited in post #6 of the above thread) don't differentiate between bookings made as round-trip versus multi-city:

"American may, without notice, substitute alternate carriers or aircraft and, if necessary, may alter or omit stopping places shown on the ticket."

If one books a set of flights using the multi-city approach (presumably there is evidence of that, even if just internally to AA, and even for itineraries that could instead be booked by round-trip), then it would seem logical that one wants to travel to every city on the itinerary. Nevertheless, the CoC indicates that AA can "alter or omit stopping places".

Will AA budge on this topic if the booking was multi-city rather than round-trip? Is the answer different for A-B-C-B-A versus A-B-C-A, both of which can (in general) be booked either round-trip or multi-city? What about A-B-C-D-E-F-A booked multi-city; can AA change the itinerary to simply A-G-A at will?

If the answer is "no budge" regardless, then what's the point of multi-city booking?
