I think rather than this being a case of non-status guests being walked, it’s just people who haven’t memorised the T&C’s. There are quite a few reports of people who request some form of ultimate guarantee compensation and suddenly get the original entitlement instead. It’s a culture of getting one over the guests which I don’t like.
