Do you also want to cancel if a United flight changes from being operated by United Airlines to being operated by Skywest instead? It is the same the change for ANA means, it is just a capacity provider for the main airline. The difference being ANA owns Air Japan, Skywest is a separate company from United.

It can happen, that's the point of NH/UA wanting JV/codeshares across city pairs on Asia/USA side
Yeah, I know that it does happen, and some people might be quite annoyed if they were changed from a mainline UA aircraft to a CRJ, though not because of the operating airline Gojet in this case, but because the CRJs have a certain reputation for being uncomfortable.
