Nothing obliges airlines from accepting UM's at all. They could simply refuse to fly them outright by further modifying their COC. As long as they do accept them, subject to their T&C, then UM's are most definitely the responsibility of the airline.

You are both missing the point. I'm sure having the airline "contractually" responsible makes the children feel much more at ease.
