The oneworld partnership - particularly the ATI for TATL flights - is much more generous when it comes to counting partner travel for bonus earning. This is not the first time that a TATL promo like this has earnt points flying on multiple carriers. You can also
earn double AA points for flying on JAL's 787 flights between NRT and SAN/BOS this winter. It is just one of the things those carriers seem to do differently.
As for whether UA matches, I'll bet on no. Not because they hate their customers as suggested above but because they aren't so desperate yet.
