As for OP's expectation of better service from SQ on arrival at LAX, well I expected an escort on arrival with LH F for my flights with them. Of the dozen or so departures and arrivals in F for international long-haul flights, I can count the few times this was available. Certainly not provided with NH, but did get it with LX F at LAX.

Parts of LAX (e.g. T2) were built in 1961. Like many or most U.S. airports, the authorities who run/manage them had no clue about the huge increase in pax traffic to come, or planners did tell them, but they made the decision to put it off.

I have the "luxury" of not alway having to transit via LAX for my international flights. But my advice for SQ pax and anyone else is, deal with it or find ways to avoid it.

Where I live, all tickets issued have an airport improvement fee added on. No one likes it, but we have new and efficient airports and maybe it was worth it.
