Most folks based in SK countries will have a connecting flight regardless, its really more useful for folks living in NL and arriving there.
FlyingBlue is really not a bad program, I have no use for it as I prefer Skymiles but its really not a downgrade for most SK flyers. I also don't see people mention VS, being able to use VS in a meaningful way would be awesome as well. VS flights with KL codeshares earn on FlyingBlue today, if SK can connect their LHR flights onto VS, it would be a nice addition.

If you spend enough on the EB Mastercard you don't have to fly at all.

Are those laws really consumer friendly if you can't earn miles/cashback as a consumer? They are more small business friendly than consumer friendly in my opinion.

I agree, making a hostile move to customers on entry is just detrimental to this investment which seems to have a long term strategy behind it due to limitations in AFKL's home markets.
