Though I am not a fan on Ben. details are here. Basically delta backtracked on some of its elite qualification requirements in 2023, after a steep increase proposed . I have said in the past the model of the US frequent flyer program doesn't really work in the UK / EU - the dynamics are different, something that Air France / KLM understands. Ditto LH Group. IAG and BA have opted to do a copy paste .

Does it serve The BA Club if their customers like myself don't participate and just credit stuff to Qatar, Finnair and others?

I'm planning on canceling my BA credit card as soon as the annual fee becomes due - in December.

I am not going to use BA holidays - the whole concept is a joke. You can't even book top tier hotels and certainly not with the perks and service my current corp agent provides.
