Well, that's a no brainer, really.

The 787 is the first modern airliner that will be TCP free, as it "inhales" it's cabin air directly and not through the engines.

This will be a huge issue if the public/press suddenly realises what that means, especially on LR/ULR. Some future competitor might play that card.
We as professionals above all should push for this new technology, as we are constantly exposed to such fumes.

I am absolutely flabbergasted that anyone would support the 350, an otherwise really nice plane. It should be safety first, then health following very narrowly and this issue will bite the 350 big time, as it missed this hugely important innovation. I am actually really curious as to what technology will be adopted for the 77X and, if ever, the 380neo. Will they miss out as well??
