Maybe they don't value the cost of first class. Don't attribute to malice what can be attributed to personal taste.

  With how frequently they fly, I imagine that every congress critter has enough status to get free upgrades to first class

    That may have been true decades ago. Now, carriers are dropping the prices of first class seats and offering cheaper paid upgrades to coach seats (to get around corporate travel rules against buying specific fare class tickets), that upgrades are harder to come by and way less guaranteed than before.

    My thought is some airlines just so it automatically. Helps when your industry needs a bailout.
