The “public” isn’t people willing to put on business suits to travel. The “public” wanted to be able to afford to travel and that’s not what the Concorde brought.

The “public” you’re referring to is the small 0.1% of the population that gets annoyed when Delta One is sold out.

Every person is a section of the public. It becomes pointless to talk about what “the public” wants if what you really mean is a tiny slice of the market.
