Why dont Emirates accept AMEX?

When I first read this thread and was surprised at the question. I checked on Google and asked the question does Emirates accept Amex and the answer was yes.

The other reason I am puzzled by the question is that you can transfer Amex MR points to the Emirates rewards scheme and gain Skyward miles.

Why would both Amex and Emirates allow that transfer if Emirates didn't accept Amex?

As @Marchitiello suggested, I don't think the OP has give us all the facts.

Stranger things have been known to happen, like Amex listing on-card offers for merchants who then refuse to take Amex...

Just looked at the receipt of the mentioned upgrade, paid in London and in GBP even though the leg I was upgrading was from Dubai.
