You seem to mostly fly domestic and FB is of little use. If you were on DL SM you might get upgrades. And spreading your limited travel into two skyteam programs seems a bit strange.
From a miles earning and burning perspective, you are correct. FB doesn’t offer anything interesting.
But FB is interesting in getting, and especially, keeping status. It makes a hell of a difference to travel with perks like preferred seats, security fasttrack, lounge access, sky priority and free luggage.
