Fair comment, point taken.
The only reason the present LHR-1/LHR-3/LHR-5 split may be better than the old LHR-1/LHR-4 split is because of the relatively small numbers of BA ops at LHR-1 and LHR-3. For those few pax enduring the cross terminal transfer it's still "a joke".
It's not a bundle of laughs for those on a BA/other Oneworld alliance transfer either.
Clearly for the majority who can now transfer under one roof at LHR-5, it's immensely better!
It illustrates the need, in the long term, for (1) redevelopment of LHR-3, (2) shared satelites between LHR-3 and LHR-5, and (3) the extension of the transit to link all these and the new LHR-1/2 and its satelites.
