You fail to grasp that SNAs are not a benefit of any particular membership tier—they are a milestone reward.
A PPE member (and a LTPPE as well) will get 5 SNAs once he hits 50 nights, even though that’s the threshold for qualification as PE.
True, Marriott may tie future new benefits to nights milestones rather than qualification into a membership tier, but only up to a point, otherwise the membership tier structure would be gutted and people would simply lose the incentive to qualify for the higher tiers.
LTPPE is not a separate membership tier, rather it is a lifetime membership in the top PPE tier, for which hundreds of thousands will be qualifying each year with their 75+ nights.
