I suspect you guys are overanalyzing.
When the economy is good, the find/believe they can sell the front cabin. They decide bottom feeders are expensive and go on a war path.
When the economy is bad, they want our cash and we suddenly become "valued customers."
It's all short term thinking in the cirporate world. They don't recognize or care that customers may have longer memory.
Or saying the same thing with different words, spending making up a bottom feeder in their eyes depends upon how desperate they are for our cash.
