It’s all UA flights.

I think a 12 year old can sit just fine on their own, maybe lower the age threshold to 9 or 10.
I don’t see any major harm coming my way from this policy.
KLM is already long there about seating families together, even as KLM is at least just as greedy as the other TATL-flying legacy majors feeding off all the governmental waivers and favors granted by American and European regulators. I’ve done no worse with KL seating than with UA, DL and AA seating — actually I usually land up better with economy class seating with KL than with the US legacy majors as someone who buys most of my flight tickets with the check-in window open or soon to be open. I expect no worse seating results coming my way from UA because of UA trying to get ahead of the regulators on this.
