I'm sure it all boils down to, at some point, either evidenced or not, the airlines concluded that PAX and/or TAs would trust particular itineraries apparently on a single carrier more than those split across carriers. Or would interpret a codeshare as a high level of trust; to OEM a flight, so to speak.

Going way back, a codeshare might have been easier to book than splitting a trip across multiple call centers (telex centers?).

And because its still a feature of the system... it's still a feature of the system.
