You have to admire Boeing for creating the name 'Dreamliner' and promoting it to the public as if it's something special.

YES the air handling system IS special but the pax are not going to know much about that. Because, if they are told why bleedless is (potentially) so good - they would have to explain why everything else has blled air.

So, all credit to them for continually getting the stupid and meaningless name of the 787 into the public eye. Very few would have been interested in '787' but the very clever marketing word has done a BIG trick for them. Congrats to the marketing people who thought it up and their single minded approach for the 787 is just another big long range twin. oh and it's NOT a pretty plane to look at either.
