Very true...
Fortunately for us, the hotel programs are still a few years behind the big airline programs in one key area: they aren't yet part of the broader American culture like FF miles now are. (And this "gap" between hotel and air loyalty awareness is probably even bigger internationally where there aren't Hiltons, Marriotts, and Starwoods on every streetcorner.)
Therefore, we tend to find better awards, more flexibility, and more customer-friendly aspects within the hotel programs.
But I'll stop talking about it now. I wouldn't want to, you know, raise awareness or anything...
