I don't think there's some ulterior motive involved, like they have a fetish for making us fit into tight cockpits. Much as I like the 757, it was never a hot seller. Too niche.
Plus, coming from an RJ, that guppy cockpit is yuuuuuuge.
Yes, the 737 is much more profitable for the airline. But that doesn’t mean that pilots shouldn’t ask this question at every opportunity. Especially if they have operating experience as 757 Captain and “know what it can do.”
