Lounge Access flying other carriers.
I understand that as a BA Gold you can use the BA Operated Lounges even if you are flying on another carrier that is not in that particular alliance(Oneworld).
Is there any other carriers Top Tier program that allows you the same benefit but is not paid for like Admirals Clubs?

QFF allows Platinum members access to the Qantas Club (domestic) whether travelling or not. Many a QF WP has been known to meet up at the QP (Qantas Pub) for a drink and some nibbles. (access to airside domestic terminals in Australia is not restricted to travelling pax).

All KL-operated lounges

Most NW-operated lounges
MA-operated lounges in BUD
Most KQ-operated lounges
And, I believe, you can get guestless access to Jet Airways lounges.
Outside the KL/NW operated locations, it's inconsistent, however.
So, pretty generous, all told.
A random one is with bmi *Gold. Although you can only access bmi (and other *A) lounges when flying on any *A carrier, you do get free access to 'Workspace' business lounges at motorway service stations throughout the southern UK.

Finnair Platinum lets you access the lounges in Helsinki irrespective of the airline flown. They also let you take at least 1 guest in (I've never tried taking more than 1 in...)
I think the rule applies to all Finnair lounges but I think they are all in Helsinki anyway - all the ones overseas are either OneWorld or contracted out!

Question is: Is it ending, or is it simply sloppy writing in press releases?
We'll find out in a few weeks.

DL CrownRoom members must be flying at least 1 CO segment for access.
PClubs are also Priority Pass locations.

SWISS Travel Club Gold gets you into lounges at airports where it operates, whatever airline you are flying with. But, oddly, it doesn't hold where its operations are code-shared (e.g. Helsinki), it's terminal-specific and fiendishly complicated in the US.
