In practice, they're not likely to just refuse any kind of recompense. More likely:

* Giving a credit instead of a refund.

* Offer a take-it-or-leave-it alternative flight.

* Only giving out credit/refund on request (so people that don't realize or do it in time loose their money).

a credit instead of a refund is almost the same thing as not offering a refund. you're going to have a hard time using that refund in a manner that benefits you (not taking a flight for no reason)

Yep. I don't fly a ton, but I had a flight canceled by Alaska a couple of years ago. They refunded me so I wasn't actually out anything, but they also gave me a $100 credit in addition to the refund. I really tried, but since I don't live in Seattle and don't fly much, there was no way I could use that $100 credit without paying a whole lot of my own money too. It annoyed me to "throw away money", but the credit expired unused.
