Why do you think that? Other infractions (e.g., selling miles or SWUs) or rules that AA enforces from time to time but not consistently (e.g., audits of appropriate SWU application) all get discussed here. I see no reason to believe that this is a special case where people are regularly getting busted for it but no one talks about it on FlyerTalk.
Now perhaps you have inside information that you're hinting at but not sharing. I'd be curious to learn more, but color me skeptical at this point based on the evidence at hand.
