I think your underlying question is if UA is making Y look more roomy by playing with scale which is "Yes".
I think the worst is the SQ J or F pics where it looks like the model what shot in studio and they used a digital design of the seat.

Almost certainly a combination of
- small model
- forced perspective of being in the furthest seat from the camera
- this is Economy Plus

Additionally, larger windows on the Dreamliner also impact the perspective.

Sorry, Mr. Sasquatch, you must leave the aircraft. We need your seat for deaheading crew.
wow... in the event of an emergency, she can probably exit through that window!(well, if those windows open, obviously)

+1...also notice the headrests are extended so as to make the seat appear larger compared to the model and take up more of the photo frame.

you don't suppose airlines and aircraft and seat manufactures see us passengers as all tiny people? (or at least hope we are all that tiny so they can squeeze more people in?
