The only marginal cost of maintaining it as a IFL rather than a RCC is the things like free booze, food, etc. While this is a small cost, I've seen UA make sillier cost cutting measures.
It does sound strange to have an
International First Class lounge at a staion which will no longer have any International flights though.
