I've never seen angle protection on those screens and I've flown multiple carriers with them.

I've definitely seen them in American airlines at least in the business class. That was about 2014 ish so I'd be surprised if it hasn't become anything other than more commonplace.

Are we talking about united in specific or carriers in general?

Because I am 99% certain that my last british airways flight had those protected angles

One of them was a BA flight.
