I thought it was because AA eventually wants to shift most TATL routes that depend on connecting traffic over to the hub at PHL.

The clear exception, of course, is JFK-LHR which is an O/D route and is also the most profitable air route in the entire WORLD (for BA anyway, though AA and IAG have a JBA in place).
