Agreed that some of our aircraft are used on those stands, but I think for some of our destinations there is the requirement of a second security check by the border police meaning baby may be kept in Gates 1 - 5. Also, I think the airline likes to have these gates considering they are the shortest walk from central search and once pax have passed through the border police checkpoint they are then in that part of the lounge, so easier to chase up if they go missing. I'm sure the same might be introduced on the new pier if that's where the airport wants baby to go.
