In addition to the equipment and other factors mentioned above, because of arrival restrictions at Changi, the SQ flight always had to depart at like 10am. This timing makes it infeasible for a US airline to get any kind of significant feed into LAX prior to the flight same-day, so it would be (effectively) a West Coast-only flight. As SQ discovered, there's not the traffic to support that.

At least when I flew it, the SQ flight was a late night departure from LAX (around midnight)

No kidding. But you really want more cushion than that.
