Upon greater reflection, it makes eminent sense.

That is, if far more people fly Delta Airlines (DL) than stay at Marriott hotels. That is certainly the case with the Ritz-Carlton brand. Or if people value DL credit card benefits, e.g., lounge access, more than Brilliant AmEx benefits, e.g., Platinum Elite status, free breakfast, etc.
