It might be to accommodate business diners and really rich people who have those black cards. I've personally never had an Amex except for corporate cards.

It has a bit of popularity for unbanked folks with the Bluebird Card from AmEx / Walmart. Free reloads at Walmart unlike the Walmart MoneyCard (Visa / Mastercard) which has a $3 fee.

American Express also launched a discount prpgram for merchants, to make pricing comparable to Visa/Mastercard. If you have little volume, its easy to qualify.
