Why Can’t All Miles Be Redeemed For Premium Economy?

Reader Danny left the following comment on the Ask Lucky page of the blog:

"Had an interesting experience. I was helping my aunt and uncle use their AA miles for an award booking from LAX to NRT early next year.

I used BA to search for award space for JAL and found First on the Outbound and Premium Economy on the return.

I was surprised to learn that AA doesn’t allow award bookings for Premium Economy, what’s the rationale behind this? If partners release the space why block it? It was bookable through BA, but we were using AA miles and who wants to pay those fees anyways."
