Except a vast majority of frequent fliers would never pay that 3k in the first place so the value isnt really there, since that wouldn't have ever been purchased in the first place. Mostly, one gets free rooms and/or free breakfasts which doesnt amass up to whatever aspirational suites one might think they're getting for free.
TPG (or his minions) always inflates wildly the value of status in order to feed their advertising machinery.
