There are degrees of "lifetime-ness" recognized currently. LTS, LTG, LTP, LTPP. That all stops when you hit LTPP. I think there should be some recognition of substantial additional loyalty beyond LTPP.
"Better" implies a choice between recognition of annual nights/spend and recognition of lifetime nights/spend. Marriott does not need to choose; they can do both. They already do both.
