I doubt AA will be happy if AS kept most of those things as-is as it would entice many AA elites over to AS, depending on how the complimentary upgrade reciprocity goes.
If you mainly fly AA I don't see why you would switch. You earn 25% for cheap Y fares which means it's not necessarily faster to get status, and for the same status level you get fewer benefits on AA metal.
