Well I guess you have had no experience in putting together aircruises and understanding the economics thereof.
It is entirely possible that those who go on these aircruises have no interest in wifi in the air. They are much more interested in looking out, talking to each other and making new friends. They dont need to talk to each other via Iphones when they are next to each other, unlike the current generation.
Have you ever tried to look out of a passenger window on a B787 or an A380 given the seating configurations? On the 787 if one passenger or indeed a crew member doesnt like the light coming in the adjacent window, then the whole side of the cabin windows gets blacked out. Progress not!
