My view: AA already "fixed" any internal issue with SWU Y-J by making them hard to confirm until the very last second. Getting rid of them would be a disaster for the program that targets the higher spenders. By making them basically-impossible to use in advance, they provide better value to AA by simply taking seats they couldn't sell.
