I think BR is OK, but it seems their crew is more serious and efficient and do not really show their personalities, perhaps due to the language barrier. Not sure if IFE is of any concern to the OP, but MH has way better AVOD with many, many more choices than BR.

I think you can credit China miles to NW/DL. EVA to CO is tougher now, I believe, unless you are on a higher fare class.

As a first time MH flyer, I do think a 5-star airline should provide consistent service, so everyone who try them for their name can experience it. I was matching MH to SQ before the flight, but MH gave me a big slap on the face.
Gaining new customers is about exceeding the expectation and a good first impression. That's why I'm a elite of an airline which is not too special but a wonderful first flight.

First of all, I clearly stated non-stop and direct flights are different.
OP asked a simple question whether there's other direct flight between SFO/LAX and TPE, besides EVA and China Airline. There is. So I gave the answer. What's wrong with a simple answer?
Others volunteer and provided further comments on the services aspects of those airlines. It may be good pointers for OP to choose which airline to fly based on the feedback. But OP didn't request it in the original post.

Not really, I know what he was trying to loop me in to but I also "think" I know that the OP is referring to non stop flight. I specifically put "no SFO-TPE non-stop since last September" on my post instead of just replying him saying that there isn't a SFO-TPE to clear confusions.
In all honesty, I don't think the OP would really bother asking that question because you can get to TPE with 1-stop by using a bunch of carriers whether it's a direct or non direct flight (which does not even matter).

super fare
I just paid $706. total for SFO-SGN-SFO in Oct/Nov - such a deal (very glad I joined Evergreen Club) - my first EVA experience
I'm just wondering how EVA will compare to the excellent economy service onboard with Asiana (current favorite)???
