Free inbound roaming in the USA......I thought the way the cell phone operators operate in the USA prevents that from happening (we pay for airtime here both to call and to receive it is not caller pays the whole freight?)

Don't see how this can happen!

When I read the thread about the forthcoming UM dual ID SIM, I thought I saw the prospect of almost free incoming calls there, but wondered if I'd misunderstood slightly.

I assume that if it can be achieved, free incoming calls there would be only while dialled on the +447 number rather than the +1, thus using the former's incoming termination fee margin to subsidise the call reaching the +1 identity, much like it does to help cover incoming roaming cost in other countries.

For people from most countries, a choice of which of these numbers to forward their other calls to will depend on comparing their other providers' tariffs. For US customers roaming in other countries and for some but not all UK customers, there is the potential extra benefit of forwarding from their inclusive minutes.
