Code shares: same metal, different prices

What is the point of airlines offering code shared flights where the flights on the same metal are differently priced depending on which airline they are bought through? Especially when the airlines are frequent flyer partners, so there is no reason to choose to buy from one airline over the other besides price. Sometimes, the "real" airline is cheaper, while other times, a code share airline is cheaper than the "real" airline.
