Boutique is 100% EAS; if it increases frequency, it does so at its own risk, as the subsidy remains fixed. Because the routes are subsidized, the fare levels are below cost.

Indeed it did.
WN at ATL: 125 departures to 39 cities.
WN at DEN: 208 departures to 65 cities.
If you compare seat counts rather than flights, WN is a lot closer to UA.

I don't think United would be interested in putting "United Express" on a single engine airplane, or for that matter, any prop plane. Although I notice that if you book the Boutique code-share, you no longer see the "not a jet" disclaimer you used to get with the Dash 8s.

What do WN departures have to do with the price of sunflower seeds in Malaysia? NOTHING. My point is, since UA has already publicly stated they are going to grow DEN into an ATL-type fortress, WN is going to feel that blow since they are #2 there. For anyone not to see this, is akin to putting your head in the sand and your arse up in the air expecting nothing will happen to them..
