Yeah looks like crew timed out and they're waiting for them to achieve adequate rest before continuing as opposed to ferrying another crew in to operate a recovery flight (either don't have crew to spare [at least a few probably need to be language qualified given this originated in NRT] or want to incur the cost of displacing passengers to deadhead a crew).

Probably few, if any, could be reaccommodated. Hawaii flights are
full, especially that given up until this past Sunday it was the go to booking destination for people who wanted to get away but not have to deal with COVID testing/risk testing positive before their return from vacation. Also feels like daily UA is cancelling at least one flight from one of the islands which doesn't help when capacity is already filled on their routes.

Mixed bag for the pax I'm sure. For the ones who needed to be somewhere, sucks. For the ones who are flexible and not in a hurry to get back, it's great, essentially a free day long vacation in Hawaii, especially as UA provides amenities for everyone since this was a diversion.
