I hate this change as well but UA isn't stupid, they can see the last 10 times I paid for F coming from Singapore it was on SQ. The last time I paid for F coming from anywhere in Asia on UA was around 2006/7
UA is not willing to really invest into a FC product. If they offered a real FC product, something that distinguishes them from or puts them in line with other carriers known for a dedicated FC product, then they might have a chance. But no U.S. carrier does anything like that. I was in AA FC from NRT and it felt exactly like US Envoy. I would have been p'''''''d to pay full price for it. A suite? Different story.
