Nope. As a private company, I would charge the carp out of people.
Heathrow not free

Yes, you can drop off passengers at Jet Parks 1 and they can catch a shuttle bus. But with luggage it could be a bit of a fag.
And there is a "Home Check-in" service you can pay for where your bags are weighed, sealed and labelled then carted off to be loaded onto your flight.

Not if they have a contract with the airport to provide a free transfer, you wouldn't.
Guaranteed and steady revenue, efficient (no nobbers pizz-rsing about with shrapnel / finding their card / opening their app)

Contract terms change. I fully expect, suddenly, at some point there will be a fare.
There already is.
Just not explicitly to use the bus.
There's no such thing as a free lunch
That's clearly false. People who set up gates get free lunch, free car, free house, etc. If they need free something else, they can just introduce bus fares, suddenly.There's no such thing as a free lunch

What ?
If I gate up your house outside the boundary of your house and charge you every time you come in and out. Would that not be a free lunch after the costs are paid for?

Still makes no sense
Sure it does. If I do it as a private company, I will not only be legit, people like you will queue up to pay me.
Same happened at Bristol airport. After the bearded sheet wearers attempted to park a car loaded with unleaded in the doorway of Glasgow airport they banned drop offs right outside the door. Airport insisted drop offs were to be made in short stay car park. You could have 10 mins free, any longer and they ripped you for big bucks. Not happy with this scam, they eventually dropped the free 10 mins. Dropping or collecting someone at Bristol now requires you to surrender £5. Even if you're only in there 1 minute.
More benefits of the multicultural society, I suppose.
Carry on: justify your racism by any means.
The removal of airport drop offs at “sensitive” areas is down to security fears.
The charges have nothing to do with it.
Charges are either (depending upon your viewpoint) a means to make more money IR an effort to encourage people not to “overuse” facilities.
Really? People have no fear of russian nukes or tsunami torpedoes, why would they be fearful of BB guns?
It's profit, all profit.
You , and your reply, are precisely why I rarely venture in here.

Not if I move house.
You are trying to make pointless analogies to make a pointless comment
