Yeah, it would probably have been economically viable if zeppelins had a pleb and business class too

The cabins were already tiny. Can you imagine sitting in the economy seats with 20" of legroom and airline quality food for a week?
Yeah. It's hard to justify premium and much more time-consuming transatlantic travel even when I can afford it. I've done it for various reasons. But generally I'd prefer to spend my money and and time on other things.
They'd look different than airlines, Zepplins were primarily weight constrained instead of volume. Dumping the cabins can save a lot of weight.
