wait- I thought *g regardless of airline give only access to UC on international departures. Has that changed? I don't believe so... can you please clarify that?
The international requirement only applies to UA elites for entry to UCs. Does not apply to non-UA *G nor for UA *G when using non-UCs.

This is not new, been this way for decades.
