It's not the case with 〜ではあるまいし

Grammar: Reason & Cause

〜ではあるまいし expresses a cause or reason. It follows a noun or phrase, and is used to say “Because it is not ~” or “Because you are not ~”.

In the case of expressing a reason, a criticism, warning, advice, or an order may follow after し. However, it’s often the case that the portion after し is omitted.

When following a verb, ん or わけ may appear before で.

The colloquial counterpart is 〜じゃあるまいし.
