In the grand scheme of things corporate travel is far more important to CX's bottom line than someone who spend a few 10s of thousands to reach DM.
No the business pax have no clout.
They're getting from A to B in the fastest way possible.
They're already given J - that can be taken away (if the company already routinely flies its employees in Y, I don't think they get contract rate)

And the c-suite have been "bought" with CX Premier.
