The decision whether to hold a flight for delayed connecting pax is made by UA OPs, not the GAs. I've been on both sides of that one.
I'm always on the wrong side of that one. If I'm in the airport 4 hours before my flight, flight will wait for late passengers. If I'm running because my connecting flight arrived late, flight closed doors 5 minutes ahead of schedule. Happens even when there are 10 passengers running for the same flight.
