My personal opinion is getting made was more of a status/pride accomplishment if (A very big "if") you were a money maker. If you earned it wouldn't matter if your made or not. As long as you kicked up, you were protected (Jimmy Burke Left Rosenthal) and respected. All that mattered was money to the leaders with half a brain. Getting made is just a feather in the cap, if you were a serious problem for the bosses made or not your gone. Period, more leeway went to the earners, made or not.
