I think the bigger issue is consistency.

Right now, for an intercontinental flight, you have Premium Economy or Signature Class. The latter requires every seat to have aisle access. I just don't see a way AC could effectively add seats with all-aisle access to a narrow-body without taking up way too much space.

And since a 2-2 configuration could only be sold as PY, as evidenced by the SQ birds, there's no point in them wasting the space on lie-flats if they can only command PY prices.

Believe me, I'd love for my favorite route (YYZ-SFO) to have lie-flats on every flight, but I just can't see it happening.

How about this from Thomson Aero:

You can also install the present reverse herringbone on a narrow body as evidenced by what American has done with the transcontinental A321's.

And JetBlue will be flying to Europe in the near future.
