I'd venture a guess that you travel with one person who doesn't have an AU card and spend a lot (in your opinion) on your card. Everyone always writes their 'dream rules' to suit them. Why would you banish AUs? They pay their annual fees and honestly it costs more out of pocket to be a AU (as low as $58 as high as $175) than it does to have your own card ($50 after the $500 in credits).
Rather than adding access limits, they should just keep working on stopping the 'travel hacker' crowd. If Amex stopped offering the bloggers (TPG, Lucky, et. al) a commission for Amex referrals, then they'd only hawk Chase.
