With BA and VS, there are far more British than US, whereas on UA there are far more US than British - at least IME. First of all, UA is very little known in the UK - it doesn't seem to do any advertising or promotional work. Second, US airlines generally have a very poor reputation. But against those, it tends to be cheaper (but not by enough to pay for the two drinks you need to pay for on UA to dampen the discomfort, which are free on BA and VS).
