Thanks for all the replies. It seems there's no business case for an upgrade and those who want the bleeding edge in avionics will have to apply for a business jet job ;-)
There was a plan announced in 2020 to upgrade the A320 & A330 ACP / RMP / ATC avionics into a single integrated unit knowns as DRAIMS. The plan was to start installing the system from 2021 but I believe it’s delayed or on hold (maybe due to supply chain issues)?
