I suppose the question is whether you feel like spending 3-5 times as much for the same flight, to save a bit of that time. Perhaps you would be, but I think you can understand how most wouldn't, even if they could. That is of course assuming that unlike Concorde, this can do single-hop journeys longer than a trans-Atlantic flight.

Plenty of people do for comfort. And these seats don’t look horrendous.

You have a good point, maybe they'll find the sweet spot between price and utility.
