Has this ever been proposed? If it hasn't, how could something so
obvious be missed? Is there anything preventing the third side of the
triangle from being restored?

I can understand why TL trains from the north to Moorgate are useful,
but many passengers coming from the south already have the option of
getting a train into Cannon Street from London Bridge, and Cannon St is
arguably closer to more City destinations than Moorgate. Running more
trains through the Snow Hill tunnel will probably put an extra strain on
even the TL2K signalling system, leading to unreliability (more so than
existing TL services).

Apparently when the LCDR used to run trains through to Moorgate (because of
an agreement they had with the Metropolitan Railway, the trains were empty
betond Ludgate Hill - because of the unreliablity, passengers found it was
quicker to walk from Ludgate Hill to their offiuces, than to stay on the
train to Moorgate. Passengers from TL stations for Moorgate can of course
change at Farringdon on to very frequent LUL trains.
