US may have taken over AA from a flight operations perspective (I didn't even really know that), but AAdvantage took over Dividend Miles. That one feels like Marriott Rewards taking over Starwood Preferred Guest - although smartly with a lot of the key features of SPG not being dismantled. Don't know what the new program will be called, but the landing page for now is "members.marriott.com", not "members.spg.com".
So yes, the legacy Marriott Plats get tossed a little bone that Starwood Plats don't get.
