If I flew once a year, and only spent $122 on a ticket, I would be very willing to spend the extra $39 for E+.

Like most things $mi$ek does, this is simply an attempt to make more money by swooping in on LCC customers at the expense of alienating elites.

Nah... the OP is right, E+ just happens to be completely full on that flight. UA does not block any E+ seats on 757's.
With the integration of the old CO fleet, is it possible UA may become more conservative and start blocking some E+ seats on legacy UA planes, since an equipment change from UA to CO plane would dump a lot of folk into the cheap seats?

It's going to take a while before the combined fleet has adequate E+ availability (if it ever will). The new UA now has twice the demand for E+ but only fractionally more E+ (or equivalent) seats available than before the merger. If I were UA, I'd be looking to lower expectations quickly!
