787 doesn't fill the same role as 737 and A320, it's a much larger plane that carries more passengers. 737 and A320 seem to be much more popular for domestic flights within the US than larger planes.

And the economics of a small single-aisle plane for medium haul, e.g. the East Coast, seems to be what is pushing the needle.
