SO perhaps they're just trying to justify it. But 2years is a long time.. !
KE is building their whole premium fare strategy based on the A380, and project >50% of their revenue will be from A380 premium fares once their fleet is delivered. So it isn't just a capacity thing, it is also service level (though I think the 747-8 could match the A380 in that respect).
