That actually surprises me then.
They have said that some new partners are taking a lot longer than others because AC is their first partnership. Bamboo has never allowed partner redemptions, so it makes sense that it could take more effort.
But EK has a partner or two.
CX allows booking into U (business) class.
EY allows booking into N (economy) class.
etc.
Why is EK more complicated than just saying "book business into D" (or whatever it is)?
