More simply, BA status is easier to reach for the long-haul premium cabin traveler.
I already booked two roundtrips on Iberia, on discounted fares, meaning I will only get 150 TP for them, compared to full 15k miles for AA.

Im unfortunately not a premium cabin traveler, mostly have to go for the cheapest tickets, which is why I guess AA could be advantagous.
