Wrong.
While it is true that most FTers earn their status from business travel, there certainly are exceptions, especially within the FT community.
Some people just enjoy travelling and will book a flight if they see a good deal, a few people will do pure mileage runs and others can family spread all over the world.
For instance, it's quite possible to earn BA Gold with 2-3 international trips in J, and during the holidays fares can be very reasonable.
