To be fair the A 380 didn't have a lot of technical issues
Convenient memory? Because I remember lots of technical issues (landing gear issues which drove a major redesign of the gear and wire bundles too short, to name just two), initial deliveries years late, and billions in cost overruns. The 787 was a disaster, but the A380 wasn't much better. Further, the 787 has a fighting chance to sell sufficient numbers to pay back the investment - something that'll never happen on the A380.
