I have an upcoming trip to Asia- If I want to stick with Star Alliance I can fly SQ and get 40K status miles and award miles on my F fare. Or fly LH and earn 47K status miles (due to feeder segments and status bonus) and 35K award miles on my A fare. Or TG and earn the same as SQ which is GBP 1000 cheaper but mean worse connections. Or forget all this freqent flyer malakry and fly EY apartments which is GBP 2000 cheaper and better hard product.
If I am not getting award miles or status miles with M/M, there is no reason to stick with M/M.
