I still do! Even more because of the way it has changed the interaction between crew and passengers than in terms of actual lack of catering (I’d personally prefer no service at all or just free water/tea/coffee than that thing).

As for CE, I’m not interested in buying CE on o/d flights myself and even if I were, CE catering has very badly deteriorated on my main route (former band 3 now medium) where I find it wholly inadequate.

In my case comparison makes sense in the sense that it’s precisely because others’ offer is better that I have switched a significant part of my flights but by that I mean comparison with the alternatives I actually have (both on o/d and connecting) and not comparison with AA which flies entirely different routes.
