Speaking here purely in the abstract, not with reference to any particular service provider:

It is common in the brand-loyalty world for superfans of an inferior proposition to devalue improvements available from the competition.

That competing restaurant serves better food for less? Yeah, well, I don't go to restaurants for the food. I go for the tablecloths and cutlery.
That competing make of car runs forever without breakdowns? Yeah, well, if you like that kind of thing. Me, I like my bimonthly service bay visits.
Some other airline offers more value? Yeah, well, none of that stuff matters to me.
