I could shoot that argument right back. Why should people bother to give say Louisville a better bowl game? What has Louisville done other than happen to be in a better geographic area to be absorbed by the Big East to deserve the Gator Bowl? Heck, they were 9-2 this year beating nobody of significance in a horrible Big East and yet are going to a bowl with more than double the payout (3 mil to 1.4 mil) of TCU's bowl destination. Louisville beat a total of 1 bowl eligible team this year (A 6-5 Rutgers), meanwhile TCU beat 5 bowl eligible teams.
Personally, I'd be more than happy even if we went back to the old bowl system where bowls had 1 tie-in and the other was an at large. Allowed for providing interesting matchups while still giving a certain tradition to bowls as well.
