Because it's budget (and I have no status) I wouldn't expect many points compared to a reg Ibis or Novotel, but something. Sort of how Air Canada gives you 25% of points for the cheapest Y fare, vs. the higher priced fares, and that makes total sense.
Accor already does this: different brands earn at different levels, so you earn fewer points at an Ibis compared to a Mercure/Novotel, and even more at Sofitel/MGallery. This is clearly stated on the Accor website, pretty clear you haven't read what you signed up to!
