The very comment thread we’re in has a quote stating you get more interior space because of the incorporation of wings into the body.

They appear to make more sense for large passenger jets because the interior volume scales better. There’s a ton of practical concerns though.

They won’t fit into existing airport setups. Seats near the wing will move waaay more than near the center during banking turns (maybe they’ll be cheaper lol)

I don’t think it’s a given they’ll replace what we’ve got, but who knows.
