I know Southwest allows to accompany (or pick up) minors for free. United charges $99 (according to their ticket agents and website).
United's (and all of the other airlines') fees are not to accompany or p/u the kid, but for them to escort the kid. As you said, it has nothing to do with TSA, it's the airline's policy...this tends to either be a decision made by the TA or their supervisor
