SWA is a low cost carrier. United is not. Both airlines have their warts, one just has their warts constantly highlighted.
The up and down hustle isn’t for everyone, and going “international” to Mexico City in an RJ ( or wherever you’re “way more international destinations than the legacies” locations were ) is nowehere near the same thing as flying a triple to Rome or Hong Kong.

The two airlines are completely different animals.
