UA decided that all they care about are their own elites.
They obviously prefer UA elites to premium customers.
Not paying for HON miles is perfectly in line with this policy.

In my worthless opinion, UA's current business strategy is aiming for short-term profitability in order to prepare the company for some serious M&A activity. The current management isn't interested in long-term effects (which will be devastating), as they plan on bailing out with huge bonus packages after such a merger.
