Sure. Etihad first class apartment is public transport and so is a bajaj between Addis Abeba Bole Airport and Mesquel Square. The fact that we are talking public transport in both cases does not mean that the experiences are remotely comparable.

One can agree or disagree/have different preferences but It really is not that difficult to understand that some people prefer a smaller cabin, which gives you a greater sense of calm and intimacy than a cavernous hall.

As to "small cabins means higher prices": this does not necessarily follow: it is about the use of space: making use of natural smaller spaces or dividing a large space into a series of smaller spaces does not necessarily mean a huge overhead in terms of space usage.
