The issue is that, as with supersonic aircraft, the niche is too small to be economically sustained. The higher the cost per aircraft, the fewer aircraft, which leads to an even higher cost per aircraft, etc.

Also, an empty aircraft with near to no range is always going to be very quiet, but it is not representative for a commercially viable one.
