They are. The 748i is nearly the same as the A380 in terms of cabin interior noise. The 787 is similar and the A350 will be as well.

Also, while the 748i isn't selling tremendously well in the passenger market the freighter version is doing pretty well. So I'd expect to see the planes around a while longer yet. Just maybe not as much with passengers on board.
