Where are you "hearing" this information? Perhaps you should be asking your questions to the people telling you this information.

There are only a tiny number of people who work at hotels among FlyerTalk's members. Even if those people can answer this question, they are unlikely to share it because that's getting into proprietary information.
Decisions about in-room amenities and potential room renovations aren't going to be shared on an online open forum.

Outside of contacting the various manufacturers of jetted tubs and asking, I can't imagine you'll get a definitive answer to this question.

Every hotel group would have data about the preferred types of in-room amenities because they provide that information to franchises that have signed contracts. (The reason why so many limited and select-service hotels are identical is because hotel groups provide floor plans so that franchisees do not have to find an architect. Those floor plans are periodically updated to match what the guest expects to find in a hotel room.)
No hotel group is ever going to share this type of information. They spend money to produce the data and it is considered to be proprietary information.
You might be able to gather some information and statistics through hospitality trade publications. Although, those statistics will be fairly generic. You also might find information by researching the various manufacturers of bathroom fixtures made specifically for hotels. But, that's also going to be fairly generic.
