I don't think anyone said they should. In fact it isn't DL providing ORC at all. It's the airline you ticketed with sending a request to DL for ORC. The requesting airline 'pays' for that credit.
In the OP example, he wants AM to provide ORC to his Skymiles account, and is simply asking if that is possible.
