Also devalued big time, but I feel AS is still relatively good, recently got South America to US in J for 50K on LATAM.

For UA and in general, don't horde your miles, as they will devalue. Earn and burn, earn and burn.

At the very least, for the earn and hold group, there is definitely more value by keeping your earnings in Chase UR, which has greater flexibility than UA miles.
