Perhaps other OW airlines should follow suit and exclude AA members from redeeming for most of their flights and only offer a minute amount of award seats the same way AA does.
What you're not mentioning is that BA award pricing (and AA award pricing for partners) is static. AA award pricing for AAdvantage members is dynamic. So yes, an AA award member can always get a Business Class seat to Tokyo, but might have to pay 450,000 miles for it:
