Why doesn't Australia (& Canada) be a bit more generous/open the door to UK Citizens?
(1) Large geographical land areas with relatively small population densities;
(2) The Queen is their Head of State;
(3) The UK is the mother country of the Commonwealth;
(4) They were all formerly part of Britain;
(5) A shared language and similar educational, cultural, social, economic, legal, constitutional and political systems, and values;
(6) Many Australians, Canadians, and by extension New Zealanders and South Africans, like to live and work in London to use as a base to visit Europe on weekends and during holidays, so the arrangement could easily work both ways.
I personally don't see what the problem is. Open the door either way.

Australia and Canada are party to a global conspiracy, coordinated by the Americans.

I don't know, but in the past the UK has been the more hostile partner in terms of shutting down options. They dumped a lot of their relationships when they went with the EU. And keep tightening the visa rules for Australians and Kiwis.
