And based on what you see people spending on ebay for baggage tags with one, two or three starts you see that other people do care a lot about this prestige/star stuff. Bottom line: LH is indeed satisfying different people's needs both with the status stars and the select miles.
Hilton Gold comes with the Credit Card.
With purchase vouchers I found out that you can get most of the stuff much cheaper anywhere else. This is even true with my E-Vouchers. An LH Upgradable fare in Y or C costs as much as C and F fares on their competitors.
