Again, it's not just in practice.
What you said above, as to whether someone who is not flying UA can use the UA Premier line, was: "Technically, no". Can you explain where the rule is that says that?
OP is a UA Silver. UA Silvers get to use the UA Silver line. So far as I know, there is no rule that says they need to be flying UA -- or flying at all (assuming they have a gate pass).
*G would get you priority security on ANA, which may or may not be something that ANA has contracted for at ORD.

To phrase it differently, since ANA are United are such close partners, I think you might be missing my point. What if I was flying WN? Can I use priority security because it says *G even though I am flying WN and have no status with them?

This is right on the premier access page:
"We continually strive to make your travels more convenient when flying on United, Copa Airlines and Copa Airlines Colombia."
So technically I can't use it, but it isn't a hard rule as people have described.

They aren't contracted for it at ORD. That's why I was asking about United's line. *G wouldn't help me in this case. You also missed the next part of my post where United explicitly says it is only for their flights and Copa. I'll quote it again.

My parents have always succeeded with Asiana Club Silver cards at SEA. (for reference, that's what you get when you first register, although they stopped sending them out as of 1 year ago)
