MAGC and Welcome Points under combined program

I just thought about this after a multi-night stay at a Sheraton the other week. One of SPG's greatest benefits has been 500 points for MAGC as well as 500 points for Plat Amenity. I've earned many thousands of points from this and when you do the 1:3 transfer it works out well will MR.

Marriott currently gives 500 points Plat Amenity and sometimes 250-500 points for declining housekeeping.

This is a big devalue if you'll earn 500 Marriott Rewards points instead of the 1500 points equivalent per night/checkin.

Anyone seen anything out there or have thoughts on what they might do to adjust it? I'd be happy if they split the difference and make it 1000 MR points, but who knows. Might need to switch stays to Starwood until August just to make a run at points.
