Lets put it this way - I buy a cheap P fare on United.com for AC flights (AC flight numbers) to Europe - I earn 200% qualifying miles.
I buy the same priced I fare on BA - and its only 150% to AA.

I regret buying BA I fares for 2016. Would have been better off with AC/LH fares. I dont care about PQDs

You're changing the equation with your examples. Just as someone can book those partner flights on united.com and earn the PQDs, one can also book BA flights (with AA codes) at aa.com and earn 300% EQMs.
