In other words, United is only going to leave money on the table by making the configuration more spacious-- optimization is a balancing of multiple factors and they believe they have achieved that (or come close enough).

[Seats with no angling or tapering and a full rectangular body footprints are generally found only in first class-- even QSuites taper, by the way.]
