I don't believe this is correct. Here's a screenshot from a test booking for a United flight via Orbitz.
It appears that the 24 hour cancelation is still possible when booked through Orbitz. ....
Yes but it is not UA's policy, it is Orbitz's (or the OTA in general) policy. Which was the original point.
While it is true many of the major USA based OTAs have some 24-hour cancel policy, it is not required and there are differences in the fine print.
