If I understand correctly, US Airways sells status here:

Platinum, the level bundled with Centurion, has a retail price of $2,999. No doubt American Express pays less, but I daresay it would be more than $200.

OK, I just called the concierge and put in a wishlist request for low or medium level status on United. I told her that I would be willing to pay a higher annual fee to get this. She seemed very enthusiastic about it and they appear to be receptive to these types of requests. She said that they pass along all of these suggestions to the higher ups.

Second, it's your bankers job to field your requests related to your bank account or your Palladium account, and the banker has significantly better chances of pinging someone with influence to make decisions that would change the benefits of the card.
In fact, when speaking to the concierge, I'm pretty sure you're not speaking to a JPM employee (it's outsourced to Circles, if I'm not mistaken).

Sure, but there is no airline that does a status match. Minus the short matching battle between UA and AA, everything is just challenges. And sometimes you can get into the challenges without previous status.
If you have enough spend you can also spend your way into Delta DM.
Either way though, if you aren't going to fly much it's probably cheaper to just buy J/F instead of worrying about getting status.
