It's not something that I have observed on other airlines though.
For instance, here is an extreme example of JL: it's warm-ish in F (if cabin is present), too warm in J, far too warm in premium economy (if cabin is present), and EXTREMELY warm in economy to the extent that I cannot cope with being there and have to stand by the door or I'd feel ill (NH tends to be pretty hot too, come to think of it.)
They do have the 'normal' cabin layout in that order from nose to tail, so logically speaking it should be the other way round if it's related to the angle.
Personally I haven't had much of a problem with hot cabin on BA lately even though I used to. Maybe it's a different route with different passenger preferences. Come to think of it, BA flights tend to be hotter to/from Japan than the likes of SIN/SYD.
That tallies with hot JL/NH and what
BA.MF.CSM said about passengers' preferences varying, come to think of it.

Indeed, it is really interesting how our minds work!
