I think they believe the Heathrow Connect/HEx free shuttles fulfil
that
need.

I think they do reasonably well, the only downside being the lower
frequency.

Quite a few people use the airside buses, which are rarer in the USA.
I'd
like to say "unknown" but they do exist, I saw one at Newark last week
connecting Terminals A[1]&C (both of which have Continental flights).

I would have thought that the US policy of making everybody clear
immigration/customs at first entry point/final exit point restricts the
demand for air side transfers somewhat.


Not when the vast majority of transfers are domestic-domestic. Plus a few
domestic-international (I didn't clear security when transiting back to UK
through Newark, I stayed airside and the security I did earlier at the
regional feeder airport was sufficient).

It's only the international-domestic which have that issue.
