From what I can tell for the 787 so far from seat guru,

ANA: 46J 112Y
JAL: 42J 144Y
UA: 36J 72PE 111Y

That is why I was surprised with the AI config.

With the status quo, and the market that AI currently has, I do agree entirely with both you and PVDtoDEL that it is a good decision.

But surely this would have been a potential opportunity to at least try and aspire for higher rather than resign to the fact that J pax will never pay for their product...
