The reason why is that BA see customers' misfortune as an opportunity to make money. However, I think in this case there is more to this. BA knew that you intended to continue to use the return portion of the tickets. I think they were acting in bad faith. It is also outrageous BA made no mention to you of your right to reclaim the taxes, seeking instead to keep the money unless you specifically asked for this. BA have lost their soul in their efforts to compete with Ryanair. easyjet now has a more customer friendly culture than BA, who have lost touch with the basic requirements of the fair treatment of their passengers.
