What I've been told before is that the distinction is in occupancy levels. It's possible your RI has a higher occupancy limit in the one-bedrooms than in the studios -- and certainly a higher level in their two-bedrooms. In order to accommodate an upgrade to every solo-traveling Plat who asks, they may have to "downgrade" somebody else who reserved the higher suite directly. And that might force them into violating fire codes if they have to downgrade a family of four, for example.
No idea if something like that would apply in your case, however.
