If something is "free". Then, by definition, nobody will pay for it. The truth is that status and perks are earned. Giving those same perks to others who haven't earned them devalues them to the point where no one will pay for them. You must enforce standards in order to sell your product and not cannibalize your market.
UA sometimes makes mistakes with this by offering cheap F upgrades. However, lately, I haven't seen any bargains.
