Explain like I’m 5: why is it bad for wealthy parents to pull their kids from public schools? They continue to pay the same level of taxes. Doesn’t this leave more resources and attention for the children that remain? Direct, immediate effects are all positive, no?

How's the fact the most powerful don't go through the same airport security, don't take public transit (in lots of cities, not all), etcetera, working out? It destroys those systems for everyone else.
Almost everyone who flies frequently flies commercial, at least for nonroutine travel. Certainly people with net worths in the ten or hundreds of millions. Don't underestimate the ability of institutions bogged down in red tape to suck only slightly less for even the very rich!

My impression is that there's quite a range. First class + concierge service seems likely pretty common as a routine option (last time I flew business, a few people on the flight had it). It's certainly nothing like the routine experience.

Referring specifically to security + immigration experience. I've never used concierge service, but my understanding is they have entirely separate security etc. On that flight, they were met at the aircraft door & whisked away on a private shuttle to a different part of airport
