Yes agreed. I will name those three cards for anyone wondering - CASHBACK SBI, BPCL Octane and IRCTC RUPAY.
Air India Signature is underrated one.

Annual spends (excluding rent) 10 lacs: 90k Air India miles. (40k regular miles on 10 lacs, 20K milestone on 5 lacs, 30k milestone on 10 lacs)

Air India tickets for self: 30 miles on card, 6-7 regular miles on Air India.
 
I had a different view, as SBI has not done spend based lounge access. The ELITE card is quite decent for someone who wants to get lounge accesses.
As the joining fees is compensated by equivalent points which can give you more than 1 rupis per point on the correct redemptions and the list of transfer partners are also decent enough.
