The only reason I've continued to stay at Marriott properties (I'm at 130 nights now), is because I know I'm building status for 2019 and beyond. If there was no added benefit beyond 75 nights, I'd move 100% of my stays to Hilton or Kimpton and build status with them.
...Which is what I plan on doing next year, come April or so when I hit 75 again.
Bingo.
I guess they are banking on the benefits (as a platinum) outweighing the cost of trying to build status elsewhere.
