Combined with the 10k AC BIS re-qualification rule.....so the top-tier program:

1. has become slightly more difficult to requalify
2. requires some loyalty to AC
3. generates 10k miles worth of revenue per top-tier member for AC to help offset the costs

... and the upgrade benefits are de-valued???

Being based in SFO now, might have to follow why fly and jump ship to Continited
But CO and UA gives you 0 complimentary upgrades as a mid tier that would get you upgraded Internationally and it's 50K to qualify.
