This is quite the understatement. Even when there is a reasonably priced SPG hotel, it is totally out of the way and miles away from Taipei city center.
Heck, the only reason I have kept up my SPG account is because of the lack of MR options in Taiwan.
One question I am not sure can be answered: While the OP has made some speculations about Sherwood, does anyone know if the construction company owns the land and has awarded Marriott the right to manage the hotel? I ask this because in the past, many brands have done this in Taiwan, only to pull out of the deals due to unreasonable demands made by the construction company (Hilton, which is now a Caesars Park and Westin Da Shee Taoyuan immediately come to mind). I would hate for Marriott to possibly succumb to this predicament.
