Thai Airways looks like it might go out of business. Worth status matching?

NZ wouldn’t match my 2 years of ROP Gold validity period for even 1 year of NZ Gold.
Somewhat annoying as NZ refuses to allow me to use my TG*G status for lounge entry if I have my NZ number in the booking to accrue miles/SP to NZ.
They used to allow this, and there are even two fields in the system (FQTV for accrual and FQTS for status) - and other *A carriers do.
So basically NZ offers no *A benefit to me as a TG*G if I want to accrue to NZ.
