I don't know how the number of UA and AA 100,000 flyers compare. I am guessing the numbers are similar.
The reason AA EXPs clear more is a higher ratio or F:Y seats on AA versus UA on most planes.

I think the reason for this is certain dynamics that emerged on the AA board over the last few years making it a less friendly place to join than the UA Flyertalk board.
