Thing is, I despise digital keys. IMO they are a downgrade over physical cards. Much easier to just pull a keycard out of my pocket than mess with my phone every time I need to enter the room. And sometimes I want to go to the gym or pool and not bring my phone. Bonus doesn't interest me - because I don't want to encourage metrics on digital key uptake.

And upgrades aren't important to me. At all.
