Any idea why this is the case? Not a huge deal since we can download shows/movies before departure, but would be nice to have it as an option for an upcoming 6+ hour DFW-ANC flight. (Interestingly, in my trip summary on AA.com, it doesn't have the wifi icon next to that flight like it does for others, but AA.com definitely shows the 757's as having wifi).

AA is pulling ALL seatback entertainment on ALL 737-800 and MAX 8, as well as A320 series aircraft with the sole exception of the three class A321T. IFE from onboard servers via WiFi to your personal device and the AA app is the goal for narrowbody mainline aircraft.

For 75L transatlantic flights, PEDs are issued, much as on the 767, AFAIK.
