The problem with the A380 is it’s freight capacity, which is 2/3rds of a 787, and less than an A330. Two 787s on a route that normally takes an A380 offers better returns as well as flight timing choice. Congested airports are a different story, that makes A380s attractive but these are on the decline as new capabilities mean new routes such as PER-LHR etc.
