Agree, I have zero motivation to use any cards that earn miles tied to a specific airline, and already cancelled my DL Amex (which i only acquired for the signup bonus). All my spend goes 100% to cards that earn Chase UR, Amex points, or 2% cash back, except for hotel cards offering bonus spend promos.
However airlines are unlikely to change their stripes unless it costs them money. And it won't cost them money until customers start dumping airline cards and stop using airline cards in droves.
