Well a potential answer ( as this is a FF forum) is for frequent flyer miles or tier points ( I personally would not do this but there are posts here about doing DOM-DOM connections via LHR T5
BA did have a good domestic network years ago but with the rise of the low cost carries , BA decided to utilise their resources elsewhere

By the way I recently looked at getting from Bristol to Glasgow on BA (for tier points and amusement value) ... the route offered was BRS-DUB-LHR-GLA and took about as long as driving. I may yet do it if the price drops a bit.

Now I'm not sure about much these days, but I know for sure that if there was money in it, BA (or BACF) would be in there like a shot. Given the airline's overheads, that is why you need to look at the orange one instead. The world changed after 9/11 and realistically there's no going back. The second largest city in the UK only has very sporadic and seasonal BACF services.

Clearly BA disagree though. I'm sure such routes are kept under review and if there really was a good volume of high margin traffic they would be onto it by now.

There might be lots of traffic but there's clearly not much money or BA would be in there to take the money off people willing to pay BA fares just like c-w-s says.
Just because there are lots of people, and even lots of people that travel, doesn't mean there's any money to be made from it. That's air travel in a nutshell.
