Considering a brisk walk from the train station to United's counters in Terminal 1 is taking about 10 minutes that leaves you with five minutes to queue and get your bags checked in - even in Polaris this is just unthinkable. Will mean a LOT of misconnecting passengers if they really enforce these rule without changing MCTs...

Well that is a very uncommon example for UA. Don't think they sell very many LH airrail connections That said, it is a 'connection' and I am pretty sure they will be able to check bags after the 75 min deadline as well - they just no longer have to.
