So on both EuropeanGames.TV and AllAthletics.TV the feed for athletics now directs to the iPlayer, though it lands on Glastonbury coverage and you have to do a bit of a search to find the athletics.  Assume they're taking the world feed commentary.
I wonder if it wasn't for Queens and Eastbourne whether the BBC might have done a bit more - most flagship events seem to take place between 1-7pm so an afternoon show on BBC1/2 would have sufficed with events outside those times on the iPlayer.  The European Sport Championships, which got all day coverage last year, rated really well for BBC2 - and though we're missing the flagship Olympic events there is enough there where Britain has interest to attract a casual audience.
Even with no live coverage I'm sure the EBU are producing a daily highlights programme which could have been stuck on the iPlayer.

It is indeed the world feed commentary of Phil Minshull, Alex Seftel and Hannah England being heard via the BBC Sport streams of the athletics. I think it redirects to the iPlayer homepgae rather than Glastonbury coverage directly, but of course that is dominating iPlayer this weekend. When in Germany, the link redirects to the Sportstudio page of the ZDF website, so it probably would have been better if the UK link redirected to the BBC Sport homepage. In Ireland, it does not redirect anywhere, but it does say 'In Partnership with RTÉ' in the top left corner of the navigation pages.

I'm 50/50 on whether the BBC would have dedicated more coverage to the event if they had more space in the schedules. On one hand, previous events like Munich last year have rated well and presumably the biggest cost of broadcasting an event (the cost of the rights) has already been signed off, so the smallish extra costs compared to the usual schedule could be justified methinks. 
But on the other hand, the coverage made available to broadcasters is rather limited, most notably with very little commentary feeds being produced. In summer multi-sport events the BBC have wisely used/relied on world feed commentary for a lot of minor sports (and not so minor sports like rugby sevens despite there being plenty of people in and around BBC Sport who cover rugby) which would not be possible here.  It wouldn't be acceptable to broadcast something without commentary on BBC Two, and I don't think there would be much merit for the BBC to hire commentators to cover beach handball for one week. It could be a chicken and egg situation that if a broadcaster as notable as the BBC wanted world feed commentaries, the organisers in Poland would have made a bigger effort possibly, but as it is there's very little covergae outside of the EBU-hosted live streams on  EuropeanGames.tv.
Another possibilty is that this level of limited coverage was what was agreed by the EOC and EBU in advance, as like in the UK, in Italy and Germany (and likely other nations), only the athletics is being shown on TV.

The only highlights packages I have come across is ones like the below on the official YouTube channel. Being not much over 20 minutes long (two videos per day by the look of it) and without commentary, they would barely be worth putting on iPlayer. Incidentally, I came across similar packages from Minsk 2019 of a similar standard but slightly longer - the graphics are certainly a whole lot better four years later!
