Now, I am just curious (yes, one could say I am being greedy and should have myself stay at hotels to earn status) - will SPG grant me their plat status for comped Hyatt Diamond status, which won't have any stay records? This is ultimately to say that I am seeking for SPG plat status and not really interested in Hyatt Diamond (unless it is a means to get SPG plat status).

If your stay history with Hyatt shows some activity, then it's not uncommon for SPG Plat to be granted to Hyatt Diamonds. If I were a Hyatt Diamond just matched to SPG Gold, I'd write back to Starwood saying the benefits of SPG Gold aren't enough to get me to switch when I can get SPG Gold without the status match too.
