We were shown options, certainly for a station at Vauxhall and I think one

Who is the "they" in "they preferred"? Wouldn't/shouldn't the choice
be up to TfL rather than the developer? Imagine you're at Green Park
and want to go to Battersea, without a station at Vauxhall your route
would have to be either:
-via Waterloo (Jubilee Line), a route that on the map is a 270 degree
turn.
-via Stockwell and Kennington (Victoria and the other Northern Line),
a route that involves a 450 degree turn (looping back on yourself) and
two changes

If you're at Brixton, the route is also via stockwell and kennington -
two interchanges instead of one, and a daft detour, even though
Battersea is physically quite close.

That's just peverse.
