Why go all the way to Mansion House?

Clive Feather states that lineside shielding for 1973TS is only
available on the District between Ealing Common and Gloucester Road.
Unless shielding has been extended to Mansion House, the signalling is

Why not go via the Cromwell Triangle instead? Or even Lillie Bridge?
