Would make more sense for them to have both semis than the bronze match, though if it is sublet through ITV rather than direct with World Rugby perhaps understandable why that isn't the case. I'm guessing they were locked into the Wales path regardless of whether Wales made the semi-final too.
Yep, only the one game from each of the quarter-finals and semi-finals on S4C. I'm not able to find anything to prove it, but I think I saw it mentioned somewhere that S4C's deal is direct with World Rugby rather than ITV. There's no mention of ITV, but a mention of Prime Video who they sublet the warm-up highlights from, in their coverage press release - that's the only clue I can find.

They did announce they'd show Argentina v. whoever in the immediate post-match coverage last Saturday, so I'd agree they were fixed in showing what would have been Wales' match. In 2015, they also showed what should have been Wales' semi-final, though New Zealand v. South Africa was a better pick than Australia v. Argentina.
