My guess is that it’s because it’s not all within the US—much of it is over international waters.

I notified a flight attendant on a Delta flight a couple of years ago that the engine cowling had a ragged piece of sheet metal protruding from it. After lending my phone to the crew in the cockpit so they could look at my pictures, they consulted with people on the ground and chose to continue with the flight. I emailed photos I took to ops after landing--they gave me 5000 miles for my trouble. Good deal.
