Yes indeed it is.
However, I tend to look for things as I need them. Besides I asked the question in the spirit understood by

Same thing here--like you said, EF would probably like to show that information, but they don't, and aktchi is curious why.
Yeah, going with the soda analogy, it is like I never drink gingerale but wanted one today, so headed to my usual Expert Diner Groceries where I have been buying all my groceries. Turns out they don't carry gingerale, and I am surprised, unlike those who have studied their website by heart.

Now my surprise deepens because at places like Award Nexus these inventories
are available. Given what I pay for AN, I doubt if they are spending big money on one single carrier. OTOH, you also imply that it is not a matter of money, but the carriers are refusing to let you pull the info? Are you black-listed due to some dispute? Or, is AN somehow hacking into the carrier's website without permission?
If you [wish] for a certain airlines awards to be added to ExpertFlyer, you should contact the frequent flyer department of that airline and share your opinion with them about how helpful that would be.
Fair enough. I'll send an email to each one of those.
