The program will certainly benefit from losing the element of surprise at every step of the trip and all the perks provided "selon l'humeur des équipes".

As for the 2nd extra luggage for Platinums, this one leaves me a taste of window-dressing.
Except for the few use cases described above, FFs tend to travel more HBO than carrying 40 kg of luggage.
We know this, AF knows this, we know they know, so adding something that won't be used 99% of the time sends a weird message, even if nothing is enhanced away (love the expression BTW sehgalanuj ).
frequent flyers also sometimes fly with family, thats when extra bags come in very handy
