The various points programs negotiate discounted fares with AC - they are not paying AC the same price it would cost you to buy a ticket on the AC website. The removal of points earning was almost certainly part of that negotiation, with the result being a lower price for the rewards programs - whether Air Miles, Aventura, etc - than previously, because AC eliminated the expense of purchasing miles from Aeroplan.
