Bit bold to say people don’t value it.

I seem to recall it being mentioned in some type of poll years ago when Cathay Pacific and Emirates were top for flight attendants contributing to a great experience. Some people may not pay for it, some people absolutely do.

I don't know if people chose to pay extra to take Westjet over other airlines for that reason, but for some time, it certainly was the cherry on top on being able to avoid AC - Always cancelled/changing.

First ever plane trip with my oldest, a FA fawned over us, gave us extra attention and at one point asked to hold my son for a bit. We still remember that to this day. I personally wouldn't pay extra for that, but I don't fault FA trying to make the mood nice. I'd rather that than FA that never showed up for most of the flight when they were wanted.
