I did not know this - great point!

Actually being able to use simulations to a much larger extent than was possible back when Concorde was being developed must play a role in lowering the costs of building a new supersonic aircraft. I believe this is what Boom is trying to do! Let's hope they can spur more investments into this field - it would be very cool if we got to see supersonic travel again :)

Apparently, I was wrong! While many organizations are working on reducing sonic booms, mass is not a factor.
