I've been flying UA and believe they give 1.5 EQM per mile flown in paid First or Business.

Can this be?
Yes, see this chart here.

AA institutes the EQP/EQM system to account for high spenders. EQM is just the base miles, or BIS miles. EQM is not affected by what fare you paid. That's where EQP comes in.
