I do not know, but my guess is that it is related to the cabin layout.

Each airline typically orders a quite specific arrangement of classes and seats which almost surely are unique to an airline.

As to why Air India? Maybe he found a detailed 3D model of their chairs and cabin layout? Or maybe their cabin layout is particularly easy to model?

Sorry for the drivel, just felt the urge to share my speculation.

np, good points. I was curious myself as well
