It seems hard to justify charging for that one, once open, when they’ve had chance to design it to handle the required capacity.
The main departure level T1 drop-off, in my experience works reasonably well, by and large. The T1 ground level doesn’t really need to be open for anything but buses.
There’s no denying, of course, that T3 is a shambolic mess, and it’s this that causes the bulk of the problems on the internal airport road network.
