Your point on mutual accountability is a good one, so naturally it won’t be done:)
I liken this to the chassis situation in the US. For years the carriers have said “we are not
supplying chassis any longer” – unless you are someone we like, then we can talk. Some to this day
provide them to any/all as part of their “sell”, a value added service.
Also note that similar to the chassis situation, it is being done in selective markets, not globally
and universally. The chassis removal was/is an area by area roll-out, and again, going on for
years, and is not done yet.
I see this the same, it will take years and many, many exceptions as carriers try to differentiate themselves
while being in an Alliance etc.
