The whole idea of status matching is to attempt to capture new business. As FFPs and the concept of status were dreamed up to foster loyalty in the first place, many flyers remain captive to that one airline or one alliance in which they have status. Receiving a status match from another could all that's needed to "steal" a captive flier from a rival airline.
