it's complicated

It depends on someone's usage as well as depends on the tier retention. Axis hasn't specified if one has achieved the tier it'll be retained for life or not or will that person have to meet the spending target again for retaining another year. If the 2nd one is the scenario, it'd decrease the user base anyway, as 15L of spending on this card if someone doesn't have at least the practice of redeeming 90% RP for travel usages in general, it'd a poor deal. This card has been directly put against CITI Premier Miles, so the expectation most had that it'd somehow go near CITI Prestige, they'd be highly disappointed. I'm pretty much sure Axis is either going to introduce a higher variant travel card, placed over Magnus or they're going to borrow some features of CITI Prestige to Reserve as it has been deprived for the recent buff Axis is giving to the HNI cards.
