Why can't the inbound on the left outer execute a 140 degree left turn at the R/W threshold or 500 ft AAL, (whichever is the later), when it goes around? This would be similar the standard missed approach at EGCC, where the R/W centre-lines are 390m apart.

Well, I suppose you could. There are not that many international airports that have such large close-in turns, but if it works and everyone is happy, then I suppose it is possible. In which case, the arrival runways would be the outers.

What passengers want is to fly into a big airport in the country that they're going to, and then get a domestic flight, bus, train, tram, hire-car, taxi, bicycle, camel or donkey*, (*delete as applicable) to take them to where they want to be.
Not if it is half the price to fly into a neighbouring country, and catch the 'local' connection from there. Check out the interlining possibilities worldwide on a search engine, and see the differences in price.
