I mean, 10k marriott points to get a hit is not exactly free? How do people value that sort of stuff?
It varies by individual as to how you value other points/miles. But yeah for me personally the hotel transfers are a pretty bad value. Some of them are really horrible exchanges (like Hilton). I could only see doing that if I had orphaned HHonors points that I could never use for anything else.
