They don't "say" that at all. In fact, they are always talking about Chicago as being one of their next North American destinations. If EY and QR are too much competition then why do they serve Washington DC which has far more competition to the middle east (even United directly on IAD-DXB) and half the metro population.
Another slight possibility revolves around the partnership talks currently going on between Emirates and American. Emirates could feed an American ORD-DXB flight in exchange for American feeding Emirates DFW, JFK, and LAX flights. That would save AA passengers from having to make two connections from a lot of airports to DXB. I'd say unlikely though.
