You'd be surprised how much black fibre Openreach has.:D

All the Openreach wholesale customers either use point to point access networks, so no real interference between lines, or are required to use Openreach hardware in the case of FTTP.

It's not impossible to offer wholesale access and very basic access to tools but it's not trivial. Quite a bit of work for very little return. If BT weren't obliged to wholesale they certainly wouldn't.
