Not necessarily. For Example AF program allows one way tickets whicg delta does not so that is an advantage. Also AF has promos that I have used for half the miles in business on one way awards. Same case for United and SQ. I have tons of miles on United but I still keep miles in SQ because I can redeem SQ business and first awards via Krisflyer and these awards are almost always not available on United
