I think the point is that the awarding of Lifetime Platinum and the awarding of 4 SWUs for each million miles beyond 1 are disjoint promotions. That two of these happen at 2 million miles doesn't mean that they're linked to each other. Doing one won't affect the other. Furthermore, a change in one wouldn't necessarily affect the other. Lacking more specific information, it seems a good way to look at it.
