Functional does not always come into play. "having" AA move is a lot easier said than done. They would need to want to move (or be forced by the airport auth).....AND in most cased like this the requesting company (UA/CO) in this case would have to offer to pay for all of AA's expenses to relocate. That gets weighed against the preceived advantage to new space. Lots of moving parts.
