Granted I'm Sapphire not Emerald, but when have I ever gotten a greeting on an AA flight?

The new restrictions (regardless if they are temporary or not) on switching FFPs on a booking/boarding pass may very well suggest that.
Yes. CX still allows all Emeralds and Sapphires to select exit row seats for free, when AA play favourites and only allow Emeralds and Sapphires from JV airlines to select MCE for free.
