Why does the report just endorse the Stratford-Queens Park service
proposals (once the Bakerloo runs back out to Watford Jn) and not
insist that these are extended to Willesden Junction LL bay platform?

At a guess, it's because that would involve the trains sharing tracks
with Bakerloo services, causing performance pollution. Also, the bay
at Willesden Jn is only just long enough for a 3-car train (the island
platform narrows considerably at the north end, so a fair bit of
rearranging might be needed to extend it to 6 cars, or even change the
layout to one like Arnos Grove).
