Why? Plenty of other London terminals seem to be able to cope with
them.

Some do but off the top of my head:

From recollection both King's Cross and Euston generally don't have barriers
apart from a few on the individual platforms. I forget what Canon Street
has.

Cannon St was what I was thinking of specifically, as (IIRC as I've
not been through Waterloo in a while) it has quite small portals onto
the platforms so the gate line is a few yards back into the concourse.
Having said that, there's nothing like so much retail foliage on the
concourse with most of the shops being downstairs so I suppose that's
a difference.
