That's because there's nowhere near the O&D demand for curent flying, much less dumping additional widebodies on those routes. The ME3 are doing them because they transfer the pax all over the world, quite often to places already served by US airlines and existing partners.
And speaking of whining, its funny watching the ME3 conniption fit over even the possibility that their sky blackening half hourly 777/380 dual subsidized fantasy might not pan out.
