Maybe AS won't care if they lose some control of their mileage minting (I suspect they view BofA not having transferrable miles as a feature, not a bug, it helps with controlling the program).
US credit card issuers pay more for miles from US-based airlines than those from foreign airlines, so they probably care more about exclusivity with these US-based airlines. Foreign airlines (including BA, VS, AF, etc.), I guess, are "permitted" to have more "promiscuous" relationships.
