Question

Would Britain still want to keep a fifteen-gun Bayern out of other navies' hands?

Short answer

Yes, because the ships would represent the peak of German construction in the hypothetical.

The follow-up retains the hypothetical Bayern with fifteen 13.8-inch guns. Britain is still expected to want to keep the ships away from other navies. The stated reason is that they would represent the peak of German warship construction.
