Following your analogy, wouldn't WeWork want to be the economy class of office expenditure, rather than the business class?

One of the points of uncertainty though is whether they can keep up the flashiness, ie, they might be selling business seats at economy prices.

They are economy class. I don't find them flashy at all. Their offices are tiny, glass enclosed, like fish bowls. I can't imagine working in one of them, and I've heard nothing but terrible feedback from others.

Indeed - they can’t have their cake and eat it, in other words. A high valuation can only be justified by a high margin.
