It's not only Marriott we should be concerned with its all company's!
SPG hotels has a similarly large proportion of franchised hotels that can manage their properties as they see fit. The entire Luxury Collection is built on that same model, as is the smaller Tribute Portfolio.
If you weren't concerned about franchises within Starwood, there is no more reason to be concerned about franchises within Marriott.
This thread is an example of someone having a false premise based on fear and ignorance and spreading that false premise, probably without intending to do so.
