"The core of the problem."
Yes.
On any route, at any time, some airlines are substantially cheaper than others. That is reality.
If you want specific help on the issue, you could of course post details. Since you chose not to, can I presume this is a rant and not an ask for advice?
BTW. pay with miles is most often a poor deal. Miles can be used at a much higher value. If a particular route (such as this) does not work, do not use miles at all.
