That any flight being a BA flight, so BA pays for lounge access and decides who has access.

But they are, aren't they? Any BA flight is eligible for lounge access, which mirrors LHR CCR's access rules.

There are uniform OW rules for lounge access. It is up to each individual OW airline to decide who gets access to any lounge not covered by the OW agreement. Whether AA wants to pay for access to the Chelsea lounge for BA's GGLs on domestic flights is for AA to decide. There is nothing for BA to restore here.
