If, by "general people" you mean other M&B members who are not regulars here then surely they will! After all, what percentage of M&B members (Gold or otherwise) actually read this forum? I'd guess it's less than 1%. There are (apparently) many US based M&B members who probably fly primarily on UA. There must be a LOT of people out there who miss out on mileage or other perks because they just don't understand the details as well as we do.
