If earning solely Hyatt points is your goal, I'm not so sure that other Cards will ultimately be better. Let's take restaurants as an example. If you had the Sapphire Preferred, your earning would be the same as the Hyatt card as mentioned in the article, but one thing to remember is the ability to earn the bonus night at $15k annual spend on the Hyatt Card that is absent on the CSP. In this case, they both earn 2 points/$, but the Hyatt card also earns 1/15000 of a free night per dollar that the CSP doesn't.
Granted this is for one category and there are a few assumptions made, but I think you should take into account the possibility of earning the $15k free night since that would probably be attainable for most people with the card.
