Those aren't terribly important routes, and they're all also covered by American from ORD, but I don't like seeing O'Hare lose feeder service as the great Midwest air travel funnel.

Wouldn't part of this also be because United is going to be transitioning away from the 50 seat regional jets to more 737 Maxes as the aircraft from their big order start to come in? Chicago is like their top hub for these regional aircraft, so this probably is because the destinations don't have enough demand and/or aren't equipped for a bigger aircraft.
