Companies these days are also very concerned about attracting talent. Chicago has world-class culture, beautiful, walkable neighborhooods, an extensive public transportation system, amazing lakefront parks and beaches, and a cost of living that is a fraction of New York or Los Angeles.
Many large companies are actually moving their offices out of the suburbs and back into Chicago because new college graduates want to live in diverse, progressive, urban, culturally rich places. I know Denver and Dallas both have their share of these qualities, but nowhere near the scale it exists in Chicago.
When you combine all of that with tax incentives, central location, and a worldwide aviation hub like ORD it is not surprising at all that Chicago would be a desirable place for a corporate HQ.

McDonalds just moved their headquarters to the West Loop, that's where all the young people want to be now. Attracting talent is a huge part of the equation.

Veritas: Range of A350, 787 and 777x according to United Airlines
This is the chart from a United powerpoint third quarter of 2017. The 1000 has less range than the 900 but too many seats. See how closely the 777-2 and 350-9 are on the chart. If they were looking for a square peg for a square hole. Thats all I was pointing out. It is all semantics really they are all cool airplanes.

Correct. There are only a couple hundred numbers between a 2007 hire and a January 2013 hire.
