Isn’t that the point of the purchase? A differentiator for this market?

Maybe, but I don't see how it could work. It's like Walmart trying to sell luxury products to billionaires. The regular customers won't afford these luxury products, and the billionaires sure as hell aren't going to shop at Walmart. AA is the Walmart of airlines (or worse); anyone with good taste isn't going to buy a ticket from them for any price, no matter how fast the plane is. These planes aren't going to be that much faster; why bother with shitty AA service when you can get a ticket on one of the Asian airlines or Emirates instead and enjoy high-quality service?
Who in their right mind wants to spend top dollar to fly internationally on an American airline, worst of all AA, one of the two worst airlines on the planet?
Anyone with some money who wants a nice international flight is going to take one of the Asian or Middle Eastern airlines, not one of the shitty American-run airlines. The level of service is so far superior it's not even funny. AA is infamous for their horrible service in First Class.
