Not sure I follow your thinking here.
So a J class passenger rocks up at check-in with the impulsive thought of splashing out on an upgrade to F, ready & willing to pay the cash difference required. But your theory is that BA’s decision to save itself around fifty quid by under-catering is made with the express intention to be able to ‘honestly’ deny such a request..... ?
Losing out on additional revenue - potentially running into thousands of pounds - doesn’t strike me as much of a cabin revenue ‘protection racket’.
