That would be a question for UA. I'm only reporting what I was told at the gate by two different agents when inquiring about (non) chances for u/g.
FWIW, when my PVG-SFO flight was cancelled, I was rerouted PVG-KIX-SFO a couple of years ago.
But to expand on your question, I'm guessing they were trying to accomodate pax on many different routes in order to get them to KIX - UA planes are flying pretty full these days, at least the ones I'm on @:-)
