Nobody was forced to put in Denmark as home address. To obtain low fare

I purchased tickets without doing either.
Others placed Denmark in both or either field as their home/billing address was so.
Others ommited to change the default billing country from Denmark - not a big deal.
The situation is much more complex than your version above what is a fact is UA removed legimitate/questionable (depending what side of fence you sit at) bookings without notice or reason as far as my booking was concerned.
