I'd say that's a red herring at best or a minor impediment at worst. If BA wanted an A380 in the market for the capacity, loss of direct boarding from the lounge wouldn't be a blocking factor.
It's a nicety for us folk with status or in premium cabins, but not an operational show-stopper by any stretch.
