Why does US continue to choose to anger customers instead of just changing their schedule to set proper expectations, help ensure connections aren’t missed, etc? It’s really just terrible operational management.

I've been following this LAX-SFO flight for a couple of weeks, due to an upcoming connection in SFO (to analyze the chance of any problems). Even with the fairly regular half hour late I will be fine. But am posting the arrival metrics which is reflecting a definite pattern at SFO:
