LennartH,
I agree that Marriott's wording is poor and misleading. Marriott's wording suggests that the exclusion applies only to how points are earned at the Cosmopolitan. Your wording would be a small change, but a big improvement.
Of course, a much bigger improvement would be for all properties within each brand to comply with all benefits for that brand (except for rare cases when local laws profit something).
The loyalty program T&Cs are complicated enough without hotel-specific exclusions.
