Alas, answer is simple.
Because they don't need to. They don't have seats to give away anymore, which UA still does. As to "priority rewards," that's just like selling these seats. Whether through Aeroplan or directly, they probably don't care too much. It's not like they need to sell them through Aeroplan.
