It's one of the few remaining signs of UA's original satellite at LAX from the 60(?)s -- before there was an above ground connection between the gates and the main terminal or the odd square tumor on the other side (it's somewhat obvious from a satellite photo for anyone who is interested) -- the curves at the other end don't have gates and are less pronounced (if you can even still see them after the latest renovation) -- so the exterior wall at the right of the frame really limits the options.
