You can also have that room for 360,000 points for a value of 0.68 cpp.
Additional problem is many people are miscalculating.
Case in point: Your incorrect example.

$2431 = 5 nights and 44points/ $. (14aspire+20base+quarterly 10)
$2431 = 5 nights and ~101200 points.
$2431 - 101200 points = 5 nights.

5 nights = 360,000 points.

$2431 - 101200 = 360000 points.
461200 points = $2431.
1 point = $0.00527.
Your example is NOT actually anywhere near 6.8cpp. It's under 5.3cpp.

And this is using an example at an expensive place many would never stay on cash, using a perfect multiple of 5 nights. All of the "best case scenario" attributes.

There are also still a few properties with lower caps that haven't blocked out standard rewards 365 days of the year yet than can be better values at peak occupancy/ cash rates like Kruxed example. There are some that block out points reservations for standard rooms at standard award rates all the time, despite this supposedly being against policy.
