I'm seriously perplexed why anyone would stay at Marriott to requalify for its loyalty program or to get any benefits.

I just don't get it.

I have had zero paid stays since March 2020. Lifetime Titanium here. I've been spending at Hyatt and going independent - Niccolo and the such
It really depends on your travel habits and experiences. My experience with Marriott has been generally positive. I usually get my promised perks including upgrades, and pre-Covid my free breakfast. Early check-in and late check-out have never been refused, and the lounges are reopening. For me, staying at Marriott is a no-brainer.
