I think the problem with that approach is the practicality of collecting such charges when the passenger would not be present. By shifting the focus to bags, the issue is addressed with the person before travel.
And outside of FT, I'd wager most long haul BA pax do check bags so it'd be a pretty easy way to discourage dropping the last sector.
