There are plenty of airlines that will not do it - not at all unusual - with 2 separate bookings , even if the airline technically can check the bags through, the expectation to work on is that it will not check them through and plan accordingly.
Also , of course, if flight delayed , will be on own to deal with rebooking, paying change fees/fare differences etc
