I think it's fair to say that you are being "taken for granted" as hotel chains do ever more ridiculous things to attract millenials. That said, Marriott are being extremely careful about retaining SPG elites by not rashly pushing everybody into Marriott Rewards as it now stands.

I do quite nicely with SPG Platinum and Hyatt Globalist (most other chains don't offer enough on the status side) and wouldn't dream of being loyal to just one of them. Although it's not a negotiation in the purest business sense, I am freer to choose which hotel suits me best for specific needs.
