I know WN, UA and AA have eliminated this petty fee following implementation of the $25+ checked bag fees (not to mention the displeasure of skycaps who get reduced tips).

Also US has no milk on planes? Thus US joins WN in being the most child-unfriendly among domestic carriers. (WN still takes the crown by lacking changing tables on some planes). Fortunately we know enough to prepare for such instances by buying milk at the airport.
If you're travelling with a youngster, this is your opportunity to bring milk, juice, etc. through security. When travelling with our lap child, we load up on water, juice, apple sauce, and other goodies.

As far as changing tables go, that's what the seatback trays are for. Consider it a form of protest against lavs without changing tables.
