Perhaps, but you can't tell if someone is getting a real LV bag or a counterfeited one. I stopped guessing when I saw people with those things onboard.

There is no doubt to me that CX diamond is more prestigious than OWE.
Let me recount a story in HK Station, CX check-in.
My 70 years old parents, and my 3 year old niece are all BA gold. My niece parents are oneworld sapphire flying in J class to CTS.
Normal dressing people (HKese) going for vacation. At F check-in, the agent told them that they are supposed to use J check-in because they claim only my 3-year old niece as OWE, and the 3-year old cant bring so many people to use F check-in!) If the 3-year old were CX diamond (which is impossible as CX does not allow kids to earn status), I think they wouldnt have say the same thing.

It's not because s/he finds CX DM "prestigious." CX DM in this case is merely "useful" or "has its advantages."
Prestige has to do with how much a set of people find a particular thing valuable, or worthy of admiration. Outside of a small subset of the community of frequent flyers, airline status confers ABSOLUTELY NO prestige or social capital.

Prestige for frequent flyer status? Or your CX Diamond/OWE luggage tags? Please.....
All that means is that you do a lot of mandatory travel for work, like a schmuck.
I'll stick to my Aman luggage tags
