it's a Federal offense to impersonate a US Gov't employee but then again as you say you don't care and it seems Marriott doesn't either (per your post) but it's still a Fed offense so perhaps we'll see ya behind bars then we'll see who cares.

Not much to fudge there but I ain't justifying it, someone else is. I just do it every week, year after year. Marriott loves my loyalty and I appreciate their haggle free checkin when using some other rate.
If Marriott busted my chops on it I would move on to Hilton, oh yeah, got status there too, or Westin or Hyatt, have status there too and use different company rates. Like I said whatever is cheaper for the customer. That's it. Not even a second thought ever. Even checked in last week and checkin in DC said oh I see your company x guy and gave her my company y ID, LOL, guess she really cared.
I think your pissed because I don't care and either does the checkin person. Just get me my room and here's my CC? See you next week and the next 8 weeks after that. In this case, I have used Government rate, company y, company x, company z codes at same hotel for over 17 weeks, not a peep. Heck I even used an AARP rate, lol, see you next week.
