If A Timeshare Is "More" Shouldn't Their Rating System Reflect That?

I was reading an article where someone was complaining about the rating of a hotel that she had recently stayed in.  What's the difference between a 2 star and a 3 star rating...and so on.

It started me thinking of the rather limiting ways timeshare are rated.  If memory serves, both RCI and II utilize a 1-5 rating system on check in and check out and overall resort quality along with one or two more criteria.

Imagine my surprise when I did some checking and found out the criteria that Mobil uses to rate a hotel/motel/resort 4 Star:

Four-Star Lodgings
Four-Star Lodging Establishment indicates an outstanding hotel providing the guest with a luxury experience in a distinctive setting, including expanded amenities and exceptional service. Guests at a Four-Star Hotel, Resort or Inn can expect to find all of the qualities for a Three-Star Hotel, Resort or Inn plus the following characteristics:

Even if we take away the items that only pertain to hotels and not to timeshares such as turndown service, it seems to me that this is a HUGE step up from the very limited items that timeshares are routinely rated on.

If timeshares truly are "more" than that's the story that needs to get out to the general public.  Time for a change!  Who's on board?
