Could it be something to do with the difficulties of sharing the track
between NR and LU? I get the impression that it's already a headache for
the Bakerloo, and that would only make it worse, wouldn't it?

Well they managed for a few decades. Besides , since the bakerloo already
goes to Harrow its already interleaved between the DC services so I can't
see how extending it further would add any complication at all apart from
maybe stabling issues at watford junction.

not LU's fault; one exception, and my particular favourite, is the
Northern/Sutton Loop miss at Morden - the far end of Morden tube depot is
hard by Morden South NR station: how hard could it have been to join the
dots here?).

That was a bit of an oversight but I'm guessing when the tube was extended to
Morden maybe the current mainline encumbants of the area didn't want the tube
nicking all their passengers so perhaps they blocked an interchange station?
