You know, the ones that EK, EY, and QR among others are trying to serve.

If the ME carriers were only trying to serve Africa/Asia and other "underserved" areas you claim, they would not have to worry about coming to the US and Europe.
But the money is where the other airlines are already serving not in those locations or they would not be "underserved" as you claim. Capitalism is pretty good at finding and filling a market that is "underserved".
