The competitive environment is very different, though! There is no alternative between Prague and the West Coast, aside from LAX-WAW and LAX-VIE flights with LOT and Austrian, respectively (on a 789 and 772).

LAX is among top unserved long-haul markets out of PRG: https://www.prg.aero/en/node/5156 Of course, I know starting a new long-haul flight takes more than just a handful of tourists so am curious about the threshold for starting any such route. On that note, wasn't the 788 built for thinner routes like this one?
