This will means 0.3miles per starpoint.

arent we losing out on miles per starpoint?

I think your maths is a bit off plus remember that Starpoints will become Marriott points at 3x current value. So before it was 5,000 bonus for 20,000 for a total of 25,000, it's now simply adjusted for the new point value. 15,000 bonus on 60,000 for a total of 75,000. 3x what it was before.
