Did I say ZERO incentive. Nada. None.
I think that depends.

If I flew enough to earn AC SE and AA EXP, then yes, I'd agree. Earn one, then earn the other.

But if the option was AC SE and AA Platinum, or just continue flying AC, I think the benefits of flying where I'm top status would outweigh what I'd get out of mid-status on another airline.
