There are far more important things UA “ought to look at”.
I flew Aer Lingus domestic this weekend on an A320 and got to the flight mid-boarding with 1A as a seat. I was super pleased to find the first row overheads closed and labeled “Row 1 Only” with an FA enforcing it from the galley. Which meant I had space for my rollaboard. So it can be done, and it was great...
