So only the song writer gets paid in the US for radio plays. That's horse crap. Still, makes it even more pointless for the whining about streaming royalties.

It does not make it "pointless". I don't know why you can't understand this from the perspective of the composer or artist but whether it's .0004 cents per play or .0002 cents per play, the creators are not earning a fair value.
If
One Million people purchased a song at .99 cents, the Artist would receive 14 cents for the download (Mechanical Sale) and 6.83 cents from their Co-Publishing Share.
That's a total of 20.83 cents per purchase. Conversely, it's .0002 to .0004 per stream.
Please explain how that's even remotely fair or the same.
