I agree about your point on the 100$ fee ONLY if you truly "missed your flight" ... I don't believe that UA not being able to check you in in a timely manner qualifies...
From UAL's web site:
To facilitate an on-time departure, we recommend that you allow ample time for check-in. When traveling around holidays or other peak travel times, allow additional time.
For travel within the U.S., we recommend arriving 60 minutes before your flight if you are not checking bags and 90 minutes before your flight if you are checking bags. View the requirements for checking baggage at Domestic airports.
Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas, Dallas/Ft. Worth International Airport (DFW)
Ticket counter hours of operation: 4:45am-7:30pm
Customers with checked baggage should arrive 90 minutes before flight departure (2 hours if traveling internationally)
