My problems with UA have not been from "free" elites like may appear from Marriott, but from lumping credit card holders and $9 purchasers in with elites (clogging the checkin lines and boarding process), sending the message that paying an annual card fee is worth more as much as flying 50k+ miles a year. AA does a better job balancing, IMO.
