To answer your question: "why not?"
The liability we are speaking about is a point of law not what we as pilots want...... Just because an aircraft is painted a certain way or an airline has a specific level of service it has "contracted" for doesn't convey liability. Additionally the contracting carrier doesn't do the interview vetting process, training, checking, and general oversight of said airline.
