What happens to checked bags if you bail on a delay and fly another carrier instead?

Those are the best. Travel insurance pays for replacement goods and you end up getting your stuff back anyhow.

I found out the other day all bags aren’t always scanned. I was fairly certain my bag didn’t make MIA to STT because the app said so. They were tagged preferred. They did end fact make it. Which I was very happy about.
