The issue is connecting flows. A lot of the ORD-SJU traffic is connections. West Coasters are better served via IAH which wasn't an option before, and East Coasters are better served by IAD and EWR.

Just like some of the flights ex-IAH no longer make sense in a combined UA-CO, some of the flights that worked ex-ORD no longer make sense in a combined UA-CO.
