These are not even that aspirational of stays. Does Marriott just offer drastically less inventory for these type of awards, or is it still being worked on with the acquisition? Cash + Points inventory was always less than all-points awards, but under SPG still generally available.

I'm not sure what has happened to that kind of inventory, but to touch on your last point, there's no technical reason for the absence even with the merger. Marriott Osaka still has C+P rates.
