Even status doesn’t matter for some airlines depending on where you live. Delta Status in Atlanta means basically nothing when everyone around you has it. I fly internationally 5 times a year and have flown airlines across the spectrum. The middle tier ones always end up feeling like the best deal in the end.

Absolutely not true. If you want anything to do with US banking, social security, Embassy services, you better pay up. And every bank you open abroad is literally required to disclose to the IRS that you have a bank account with them. Source: I live abroad.
