If no one does then of course it’s not real. However, many many people do pay for rooms and suites above the base room type, and many many people do pay for the breakfast on property.
lol

It doesn't matter what other people pay or what the sticker price is. All that matters is what you would have paid.

If a car salesman convinces a few people to pay sticker price, that doesn't mean anyone who pays a little below sticker price is getting a great deal or is reaping extra "value."

If I paid $200 for a flight and the guy next to me paid $1,000, I didn't suddenly get $1,000 in value.
