Perhaps if a particular property had an exceptionally high cash price relative to the Marriott point price, it could work in your favor especially for stays of 5 nights (assuming 5th night is free).
I'm also basing this on getting 1.25 cents per point on UR reward travel redemption which I thought was the minimum on aby card that supports travel partner transfers.
Anyone care to share how the Marriott transfer might be better?
But yeah, I have a bonvoy card too, used to be starwood, and ugh, devalue central over there.

CSR lets you redeem UR at 1.5 cents per point... either in the travel portal, or for statement credits against any purchases in the PYB categories.
Value there isn't as good as you can usually get transferring to airlines or Hyatt, but it'll usually beat the value of Marriott transfers even with a 40% bonus.
But they also tend to have higher cash prices than nearby/similar properties, so the value proposition isn't always the best if you don't specifically want/need a Hyatt.
For airlines I've found it's pretty YMMV on what transfers offer the best value
You need to have a paid (ie has an annual fee) chase card to have that option.
If you do it should be readily available at the ultimate rewards website
(though as noted this particular transfer isn't terribly worthwhile unless you have a specific, high value, redemption lined up)
