"Please note that mileage credit for travel on codeshare flights, including Elite Qualification Miles and Elite Qualification Points, is determined by the operating carriers booking classes of service."
I don't see how you're reading that the UA page is somehow different than the others.
I'm reading the page which lists all of the partners which sent me to the UA page.

In the listing for each of the other *A carriers is states the flights must be operated by that carrier. For UA/UAX it does not say it must be operated by UA/UAX that.
I don't argue when the language is clear. I flew Alitalia about two years ago when it was a Onepass partner on a deep discount coach fare and got no OP credit. The rules on the CO website were clear and unambiguous although I had not read them before I bought the ticket. I had no reason to object.
That's why I read them carefully this time.
