Why does CX web site not accept Amex?
I'm sure it has something to do with fees but I find this rather inconvenient as my company gives me no choice of corporate card.

I made CX online booking with my AMEX successfully several times.
Edit to Add:
I now understand.
Online booking for ex-MNL seems not to accept AMEX.
I tried both of Japanese page and Philippines English page.
Hum, odd situation.

Wasabi -- Good observation!
I do book my CX flights ex-MNL (often much cheaper than booking from the other end of the city pair)
Amex issue cards in the Philippines. Strange.

Singapore Airlines has similar restrictions:
Payment by American Express is not offered for travel originating from Sri Lanka, Pakistan, China and South Africa due to processing constraints.
