The United States does not have a consulate or embassy in Maldives currently but operates an American Center in Malé. The U.S. Ambassador and Embassy staff in Sri Lanka are accredited to Maldives and make regular visits.
U.S. Assistance to Maldives
U.S. foreign assistance resources aim to strengthen democratic institutions, civil society, fiscal transparency, maritime security, counterterrorism, and law enforcement. The Department committed nearly $10 million in Economic Support Funds in February 2019 during Maldivian Foreign Minister Shahid’s visit to Washington, DC. During the 2020 COVID-19 crisis, the U.S. has provided nearly $3 million in assistance to Maldives to date to support the expansion of social-protection services led by local civil-society organizations and assist them to advocate effectively for COVID recovery policies. Since 2018, the U.S. has provided $10.8 million in Foreign Military Financing under the Bay of Bengal Initiative, in support of Maldives’ maritime security capacity.

Let's don't focus only at the SQ/UA MoU on the likelihood (or unlikely) of lower (or cheap) fares availabilities in isolation of how MoUs/JVs UA has entered with its other *A partners.
Look at the fare availabilities in the MoUs/JVs UA has entered with other *A partners, that would be a good indication what is likely going to happen down the road.
That will form a realistic expectation rather than speculation.

In the past one could buy SFO-UA-SIN-SQ-MNL. I would not be surprised to see that return.
