According to the threads mentioned above, most of the cabin is occupied anyways by passengers with BA status who are exempt, and according to the same threads, there are numerous passengers without status who are really annoyed by the additional fee - so if BA charges more, those with status will feel a lot better for the money the benefit saved them, and those without status who wouldn't spend $200 to purchase the option, will anyways not spend $950 - so Its a win win
