Loved the "Ride or Die"/"Rider Die" joke.

That's not why she can't dissipate. Even with a stronger master she can't dissipate. She also never dissipated in the Fate/Zero.
Normally the reason why she can't dissipate is explained in the FATE route (first Stay Night route), so it won't be explained in UBW nor Heaven's Feel.
So the following is skipped info:
She's actually not a full servant. She never actually died. She made a deal with the World and her time was stopped before her death and she was put (alongside the state of the battlefield she was at the time) separate from normal time.
This is why at the end of Fate/Zero she returned to that battlefield to wait to be summoned anew.
This is why she's able to remember the previous wars.
This is why she cannot dissipate.
This is why she doesn't appear with Avalon (servants are summoned at their peak for their class category, and she should thus be summoned with Excalibur AND Avalon, but she since didn't have it with her at her last battle, she doesn't have it as a demi-servant.)
Though she's also restricted by the class system, as at that time she had both Excalibur and the holy spear Rhongomyniad, but she can't use both at the same time as a servant. Instead she only has the sword as a Saber and the spear as a Lancer.
Because to be able to be a full servant, you need to be summoned from the Throne of Heroes. Saber was recognized by the World and the Throne of Heroes, but she hasn't gone to it yet due to not being dead yet technically speaking.
And thus she both lacks some Servant abilities and can do some things that Servants cannot.
