while that would be ideal it really just isnt scalable to have one person show up to the office each morning and scan every country BA fly to to see what changed overnight hence putting the responsibility on the passenger which is no different than pretty much every other entry requirement we face depending on our passport and country we fly to.
as we can see in these threads all it takes is for BA to say one day country X doesn't require masks but it actually does...and we have another thread about someone being inconvenienced because the website said something different or wrong.
all the differing rules have been a messy patchwork thru the entire pandemic so this latest debacle really is just another straw on the camels proverbial back.
