While it's disappointing, yes, is it ruinous?
If, heaven forbid, IFE content was chargeable separately, would you spend more than £40 to watch it?
Personally, I'd take the £40/9000 Avios as a rebate/bonus and move on.
On that basis (i.e. comparison to what you would pay on the ground), would you pay more than £40 for any of the constituent parts, the poor quality meal, the very narrow,half a single, bed ...etc
