This. OP is subtle AEJ troll
JPubE and JET are top field. AEJ are not top field

Most public people would pick an AEJ people above JPubE. I do international, I would take an AEJ over JIE. I put them at the level of REStat or very slightly higher... You look at the editors and who publishes there, and the AEJs are right outside the top 5.
Subtle AEJ troll is subtle
They wouldn't pick AEJ:Macro over JME, they wouldn't chose AEJ:Micro over JET or TE

We are also keen to offer authors a relatively
“complete” contract, and the vast majority of
papers that are sent for revision are ultimately
accepted, usually without returning to referees.
The few papers that were rejected after a first
revise and resubmit were usually papers first sent
to the AER, that were not sent to referees the first
time around, and thus have not wasted much of
the authors’ time. In very few occasions, we had
to reject a revision when the robustness checks
requested showed the results not to be robust.This is Duflo's report.

I can vouch for this "The few papers that were rejected after a first revise and resubmit were usually papers first sent to the AER, that were not sent to referees the first time around,"
However, the "thus have not wasted much of the authors’ time" bit is pure fantasy.
