It is the pax responsibility to get to the next flight on time. If it is separate tickets, the airlines can simply ask you to buy a new ticket. Frankly speaking, you can do online check in 48hrs before, so I can check in for all my flights on separate ticket in advance, does that mean the airlines will be responsible as well for separate ticket ?
Have a boarding pass does not mean anything. You can easily get the boarding pass 48hrs before hand.
