For me it probably has a bit to do with the fact that whatever wholesale fares they have seem to involve roundtrips only originating in the US... For example, statravel.com currently has flights ORD-LHR-ORD in December and January for under $500, but won't sell tickets originating outside the US. statravel.co.uk, which will, has their cheapest flights LHR-ORD-LHR in December and January for over 500 GBP. Ouch.
