That was my point. The only time that the SkyClub membership provides a relative benefit is if you are not a GM+ and flying on a partner airline. But, even if that is the case, the Priority Pass covers you 95% of the time. So it's difficult to find a use case where you fly enough to not make STE+ while also happen to fly enough and fly enough to airports that don't have PP lounges.
