Both statements can't be true, when you think about it.
One possible explanation is that there are less Silvers and/or less Silvers booking UA now due to the reduced benefits--therefore, the remaining ones do have an easier go at getting E+.
Another is that loads on UA are down (certainly my anecdotal experiences post-3/3 have been leaning that way), and thus E+ seats are easier to come by for all.
