I would submit that it would be a very rare passenger that would be connected from UAL to ANA through Seattle vice originating in Seattle. The system is set up to connect pax through the hubs.
That one NRT departure kept SEA on life support for a while, but the company certainly won't want to bring it back from the dead just for that. This is the very reason the Death Star exists.
