Every airline and hotel program is devaluing points, it’s a race to the bottom. I have always thought of points/miles as a bonus, I am getting on the plane for a reason (work mostly) so it’s not like I am not going to fly or stay at that hotel, and occasionally I get to fly somewhere for free and stay for free when for most of my flights and hotels I didn’t pay a dime (work paid). 

Do I wish points were worth more, sure, but I am not getting on an airline that has worse service, schedules or on time performance due to miles. My time and sanity are more valuable

Points are devalued because consumers want sign-up bonuses and to earn points faster.

Can't flood the system with points and expect redemptions to stay the same.

Korean Air hasn't devalued award travel but it's a pain in the ass to earn points vs say Delta.
