"We have to depart late because we said we would"

This is a ridiculous policy. Flying IAD-ORD tonight. Flight was delayed earlier today because of an expected late arriving aircraft (coming from SFO) and I received an email update indicating this.

Now, here we are just after the originally scheduled departure time with a different aircraft parked at the gate, crew on board and ready, and we can't leave until the delayed departure time because this time was previously posted. GA has been excellent, gave a very clear update, was very apologetic and said they will board slightly earlier and leave early if everyone is on board, but didn't sound hopeful.

Whatever happened to the "be at the gate at the scheduled departure time" policy that worked perfectly on CO in the past? Almost every delayed flight I was on would improve its departure time and everyone appreciates it. Apart from the people who stayed at home assuming a long delay, of course ;)
