Others will be disappointed, no doubt, at the CAA's opposition to independent instruction outside an ATO.
The key problem with forcing training into the ATO environment is that it is likely to prohibit training in the student's own aircraft. The aircraft used are part of the certification of the ATO. This will have two effects: the marginal cost of the training will be vastly more, and the student will probably have to spend time familiarising with type, and have to take the test on an aircraft type they haven't practised on. I fear this will put the training out of reach for many.
