Interlining if the bags is hardly the issue. If the UA plane is late enough that OP can’t make connection, UA is not responsible for IRROPs handling of connection. To LH, OP has missed his flight. I don’t think I’d care if my bag was interlined to a plane that’s already left

As for delay of one meaning delay of other - that’s far from true. OPs LH plane might have clearing to land at ORD while OP’s originating flight could be held. I’ve missed a few connection that left on time because my first plane was delayed due to weather hold. Doesn’t even need to be a hold. I was on a flight diverted because of weather as we were about to land. Other plane took off on time. Trying to land at Memphis and we were diverted on approach to Arkansas I think.

absolutely not true. If you fake your sick day your employer could terminate you.

I think the bigger issue is that most of the members here don't have the kind of job where you just call in sick and get a free pass on work that day.
