I think the idea that the AI tries to counterteam you gives the whole thing a more... epic feel, like you're struggling against a monolithic, intelligent opponent who's probing at your team for weaknesses with its minions and trying to crack you open. Much more appealing than imagining it's all random and you're only struggling futilely against the purposeless universe until you, and everyone you know, dies, leaving nothing behind but a stupid plastic trophy in the front hall.
However, comparing the silliness of the in-battle AI to any algorithms it might run while selecting teams probably isn't a good idea. While it probably rolls the actual opponents semi-randomly (why send a Gardener out against a Typhlosion Eruption team?), a basic system looking for type advantage among the NPC's pokes against your pokes wouldn't be too hard to program, then probably by stats...
But who knows. I've only seen a few hundred Maison battles myself, which is hardly a valid statistical sample.
One thing about the whole ejection of cards: I've straight up dropped my 2DS system onto a tile floor hard enough to pop out its rear panel (accidentally), and the game still didn't eject. I mean, the only reason I got a 2DS is because the 3D does nothing but hurt my eyes, but so far I've had nothing but a good time with mine.
