This thread is about international and there are few international routes where UA even offers First Class.

More generally, there will be a much higher percentage of overseas buyers using UA on its international routes than on its domestic routes. Seat allocation is very often not free in international markets, so it wouldn't be a normal part of the booking process for many. So, all other things being equal, you should expect to see a greater %age of seats not being allocated in international markets.
