My guess is because those GS assignments are made by the corporation, not UA.
If they renew their UA contract, that entity will make those decisions.
I was awarded GS through our UA Corporate Sales rep. Got an email from Luc B. indicating that those invitations would be reviewed in Jan 2022 for GS status going forward. My firm is in Top 5 UA accounts so we have good relationships with them. I had close to $45k spend on UA stock (all long haul paid business) in 2019 but didn't make the usual cut so went through the corporate route.
Lets see what happens in January. Work travel is looking really tight for foreseeable future so a "gift" is likely the only way I'll make it.
