I think the cachet is to fly into an NYC airport. LGA has the perimeter rule, so forget about TCON flights. Rightly or wrongly, a lot of folks do not associate EWR with NYC (even though it is arguably easier to get to Manhattan from it vs. JFK). The ship has sailed, though, and any revisiting of the decision, if UA makes it, won't be for years, if even this decade.
