Regardless of colour of card, the value of points is significantly worse,
you have a point there about FF points devalue. Is this however just inflation or actual debasement of QF FF vs others is big question. For the most the ability to use them on high value J route is key and thats where status comes in to equation.
i often think of status benefit being deciding factors over the points. if purely how cheap the redemption is, i often hear likes of AA, Alaska, or even Avios being superior.
