Why would you allow the customer to benefit from a cheaper product (separate tickets) whilst benefiting from the convenience of a more expensive product (single ticket).
Hmm not sure if it is always cheaper to buy separate tickets as opposed to a single especially when flying through the airline hub especially with the likes of EK and EY (depending on the origin ofcourse). Maybe it is cheaper with BA due to high APD? But you would be booking two non stop flights which are often individually (not always), more expensive then a single connecting flight, at least in my experience.
