Isn't anything not antigenically compatible considered eligible to be attacked by the immune system?

Hence transplant rejections.

Indeed, they are but much more slowly and not in the same way. Without innate engagement the response is much mellower and uses different mechanisms than you would expect in an infection. Also half the immune system won't be involved!

I don't quite follow how a non-antigenic match (without suppression) would have anything but an innate response.
