So if I want to fly to Tokyo in biz, I can pay with 120k miles and $5800usd and earn 15k mqm, or I can fly for free for 120k while not earning any miles.

This seems like a win/win for DL if anyone takes the pay with miles route over redeeming an award for first/business. For the consumer, it would only make sense for domestic First or all Economy tickets, imo.
