While our work rules leave a lot to be desired, I don’t think those are the primary driver of the junior upgrades.
The benefit of United is you can make 85%(!!) of the 737 CA pay rate by being lazy and more senior as a WB FO. There is no need to upgrade until it ticks all your boxes. Some never upgrade on the NB and just wait until they can jump the trash bag on the WB.
As I mentioned earlier, I’m downgrading to WB FO. Even as a line holding 737 CA, I’m working weekends with short overnights and long days. Making 85% of the CA pay rate to have Christmas off it too good of a deal to pass up.
