Not necessarily! It depends where you get it from. Our local supermarket has upped its game recently and their bacon is now a lot leaner than it used to be. Sprouts also has some decent bacon. That said, we have had some where I struggled to find any lean meat amongst the fat.

While there’s definitely been a noticeable uplift in BA’s food offerings, there remains one big issue.
Insipid, fatty bacon.
Who’s up for some customer lobbying for crispier bacon? If it’s possible to routinely cook a fillet of beef to within an inch of its life....

Fix it or replace it with something else.

Agreed, but again that’s probably at the far end of the bell-curve. Sadly, BA caters for the majority who like over-cooked steaks and barely-cooked bacon without exotic additions,
I prefer medium done back bacon to streaky, but if it has to be streaky then most of the fat should be grilled out of it.
But what I would really like would be the return of the full breakfast that was served between GLA and LHR, back in the days when gthe ride was on a Vanguard.

I'm always amused by the americanism of "Canadian bacon". Typical bacon in Canada is streaky bacon, the same as in the USA. If you go to a grocery store in Canada and look for "Canadian bacon" you won't find any such thing. There is back bacon, which is sort of like the leanest part of UK bacon, and a few specialist butchers cut UK style bacon, but it is very expensive.

In MAN there seems to be no bacon roll option in the BA lounge, so I go the T3 Escape lounge for a perfect bacon bap then return to the quieter BA lounge and perhaps some fizz. If a priority pass lounge can offer a good quality bacon sandwich I don't understand why BA can't (even when it is available).

I was referring to both. I find the lounge bacon almost as bad as the in flight.

Don't you have to make up your own breakfast roll in the new LBA lounge?
