There are certainly clubs that don’t fit that description, but the industry, the real bulk of the cash flow and the natural end state of most successful clubs, is a status economy.
A club that can be successful and not devolve into this is an outlier that certainly takes extreme care to stay that way.

I think this is highly dependent on the club, and the scene. There are absolutely clubs that cater to people with status. It's usually obvious at first glance whether you're at a place that focuses on the music, or focuses on the high spenders in the VIP area.
Hell, in Vegas the dance floors of some clubs seem almost like an afterthought.
Not really sure where you're coming from? The club scene is pretty egalitarian, both in politics and practically - everyone's the same on the dance floor. The only exception is the VIP areas, and I don't think they're an essential part of the club scene.
