It all boils down to an old/crusty mentality they had "back in the day" of "well, YOUR airline can't take me to (insert int'l destination here) therefore we can't take you to (insert int'l destination here)".

Interesting, as I believe that UPS doesn't but I could very well be wrong. I believe that SW does have an int'l agreement with them (AA). The story is that the SW guys pressed pretty hard to get it using the rationale that a crap-ton of AA guys ride on SW to places like Chicago, Dallas, etc.
