a few theories

they don't need to, as they have a captive audience and what limited competition they have don't take ATL seriously (UA didn't even have SFO-ATL for awhile, for instance)

the premium business traffic doesn't exist on the route(s) to justify using a premium configured airframe on the route(s)
