Why?
Even if a customer receives a Cat IIIb capable aircraft many do not maintain them to keep Cat IIIb operational approval. Some operators don't see a cost/benefit advantage. It appears that Boeing allows customers to opt out at purchase rather than buy capability they don't intend to use. What's wrong with that?
