Those flyers don’t care. Most frequent flyers are using other people’s money (business travelers) or are not price conscience.

We don’t even compare prices for domestic flights and we fly a lot on our own dime (15x-20x+ a year since mid 2021). We instinctively just book Delta where we have status and lounge access.

They do care when there is no valid routing from point A to point B via official codesharing/interlining/alliance partner airlines on a given day, forcing an overnight layover, or virtual interlining.

Usually this happens when flying long haul business class from smaller airports to another small airport on a different continent.
