That is where you are wrong. The 380 is delivering excellent economics to Qantas and has exceeded expectations in some instances...

Except V are unable to make money, hence mass market extraction. Why can't V make money if the aircraft is so "efficient" and able to fly "any sector length needed"...

Because cost of operating the asset is only one component of whether a market will deliver a return or loss...Just having a flash new 777 does not mean the market is viable and/or that asset is best suited for that market...V's failure it matching equipment to market...I mean - three class 777 on leisure based markets...what fools their route analysts must be to believe they could extract the appropriate yield on these "leisure" markets...
