Agreed, this is what I was pointing to also. If the MAF is dying you'd notice a change when it went to default. If no change at all, it seems you are already in default as the system doesn't see the MAF. Your scan also seems to point there too.

Most don't realize that the MAF is a consumable part and they do wear out and need periodic replacement. Just like the O2 sensors, they last between 75k and 100k miles on average.
