This comes across as a very odd analogy to me.
Can't speak for others, but personally I 'manage' perfectly well on trains/tubes/buses - largely because I haven't bought a ticket costing several thousand pounds ; but also because such travel rarely (if ever) involves journeys lasting many hours at a stretch.
In stark contrast, when paying for business class travel, I have a very different set of preferences and parameters. And for me (as a frequently solo flyer), the configuration, the bizarre 'divider' arrangement, and poor personal storage facilitities offered by BA longhaul cabins compare unfavourably versus other OneWorld carriers.
