I'm simply baffled why you believe this to be the case. How does the requirement to make a choice between two such weirdly unrelated options arise?
If the IHG team were to ask themselves what do about mini-bars, there'd be many options, one of which would be to maintain the current structure and service. If they opted for change, they'd then face the ancillary problem of how to adjust the RA programme to take account the changes.

If that is case, why RAs would get upset because they can not drink like a fish anymore?
Dispute as much as you wish, but the RA's responding to this silliness clearly are pissed off. It's got little to do with how much use we make of the facility. It's a reduction in the scale and scope of benefits enjoyed under the programme. Simple as that. It might not have much impact on you, but If you roll over for such whittling down of the programme's value then you invite further cuts.
I'd be royally annoyed if they stopped the free weekend night benefit, even though I haven't used it for years. In much the same way I'd be pissed off if any rights or privileges, used or unused, in other walks of life were withdrawn.
I've never knowingly used a right of way in my life, but tell me I no longer have access as a right and I'll be joining the protest marches
