You are correct in that those of us that have the LT Plat status may not get much from this. But I suspect Marriott isn't as worried about getting or even keeping those with LT status as they already have us. And if no other hotel, airline or frequent travel program offers anything more than an "e-card", then even something very little, like one extra night credit, can seem like a nice gesture.
And if the recent FT Post Count "issue" has taught us anything its that even one little post (or in this case night) can mean something even to those with LT status.
