The folks asking for a reason to fly more than 75K are looking for an additional tier or benefits, not more difficulty making it to the top one in the program.
As for the desire to compete with the Asian carriers, you can do that just as soon as the USA changes the laws reflecting pay, gender bias, workplace discrimination and other such things. And, on top of that, the accountants would have to come up with a justification for it. I just don't see that happening anytime soon.
