This "forced transfer" thing is way overblown. All you will have to do is walk across the platform (no stairs required). Running a subway through the LRT ROW is not gonna happen because of the electrified third rail, among other reasons. All places where subways run on the surface also have tall metal fences for that reason. How are pedestrians and cars supposed to cross the tracks?
To be honest, I wonder if some are mainly concerned about how things look on a subway map and don't like the idea of the purple line looking short.
Maybe that's why some love loops & "closing the loop" on subway maps. No transfers or lines ending ever, you just ride the subway in a circle forever!
