guess United wants to collect the domestic baggage fees for intl travel for the domestic leg
The limit is 24h00 for this particular connection. The lowest published fare from HKG to PHX is SLXNNJBI, a $1,440 round-trip (including fees). The website is automatically offering you a fare break in SFO because it is cheaper, and following the combinability rules of the fares.

Also not entirely sure how a TA feels about doing this when the only reason is to circumvent fare rules.
