Probably has never read CoC (as has not 99.9% of the traveling public) or was aware of the lack of coverage for cameras in checked bags.
For OP's
reference {BTW it took about 10 minutes of focused looking to find this -- far from obvious....
United recommends that you do not pack high-value, fragile or perishable items in your checked baggage. United will accept such items as carry-on baggage (subject to carry-on baggage allowances) or as checked baggage (subject to checked baggage allowances). If you choose to pack high-value, fragile or perishable items in or as checked baggage in connection with travel within the United States, United is not liable for the loss of, damage to or delay in delivery of such items. For most international travel, United’s liability for destruction, loss, delay or damage to checked and unchecked baggage is limited.
Examples of high-value, fragile or perishable items for which United is not liable (in the case of travel within the United States) or for which United’s liability may be limited (in the case of most international travel) include, but are not limited to:
...
Photographic/cinematographic/audio/video equipment, cameras and related items
...
So, not sure of the need for snarky response for such a buried limitation.
