They have just added a personal shopping service for Disney Springs. That confuses me even more, if we were talking about a shopping center with high end stores, fashion, etc. it might work but not for a tourist mall.
I think the easiest way to make the cabanas have any level of demand is to simply promise a table at the highest demand places for whatever time they want. Since those places fill up minutes after ADRs are open, people who weren't aware of the system or didn't have time to check back a million times would be able to buy their way in.
I could see some of the wealthy foreign visitor taking advantage of the personal shopping service. And perhaps the same people that take advantage of the personal tour guides in the park.
Interesting idea on the reservations for people shelling out the big bucks for the cabanas. That might actually entice some people to pay the big bucks.
None of these brands are ones that would get the attention of a wealthy anyone... https://www.disneysprings.com/shops/
They are trying to have Rodeo Drive services for Mall of America stores. This is the main reason I never considered returning to DTD/DS, there is literally nothing there of interest because all of those stores exist at the local malls (at least back when malls were a thing). Part of what a PS does is help you find something rare/exotic, you won't find that at DS.
