A few observations:
"Home Casino" isn't a 7* concept -- it applies to all players. Your reassignment, after regular BAC play, would have likely happened even without passing 7* qualification threshold.
"Home Casino" designation impacts very few offers ... only those that are tied to your home casino (in AC, for example, this includes the annual Christmas party assignment).
It's very unlikely that home casino reassignment to BAC reduced all other regional offers across the board. (There would be a smattering of offers designated specifically for players assigned to your former home casino property for which you would no longer qualify ... but, again, those are few and far between.)
Not sure what you're referring to in suggesting "management resistance" to changing home casinos. There are guidelines under which it can be done -- I forget specifics, but it's something like establishing a casino as your dominant property over the last 6 trips (based upon days at each property during that time). Best bet is to inquire with your host at the desired property how a change can be effected.
