It is the 1 MMer companions of GS/1Ks that was the target. Given the population of 1MMers is much greater than any other level (some have speculated larger than the sum of all other levels-- which I would not find surprising -- see United Lifetime Flight Miles "BIS" Ranking for the End of 2020). So the number of 1 MMer GS companions is likely larger than other MMer GS companions.

While understanding 1MMer benefits has been downgraded, there has been little debate the 1K/GS ranks seem bloated. And as choice of Gold vs other level such as Platuim for the 1MMer companion, The Gold level matches the level guaranteed for 1MMer.
