This is often repeated, but I've never seen any evidence of the fact -
can you cite something?

You'd probably have to look for Heathrow Airport strategic travel plans.

The fares certainly give you that message. The single fares are
rather high, but the commuter fares are the same as for the tube.

Before the recent change, you could get a 75% discount on adult single
and season tickets if you had an airport ID. That seems fairly clear.
