Pretty obvious really.

It was the same when the A380 was at the concept and design stages. They hammed it up with groovy artists' concepts of the product and wowwed the punters who all thought, "I'd fly on an airline with a modern-looking jet like that."

...and airline execs sign up to buy them.

The reality is that there are NO bowling alleys, gymnasiums, lap-pools, revolving restaurants, etc, etc on the A380s and the slick look that Boeing spoke of is now a lot more conventional.
