I think the 77W is far more efficient for cargo. And unless ex-LHR pax are willing to pay hefty premiums to cover the cost of heavy losses in the inbound leg, it’s more cost effective to have oversold outbound and partially full inbound flights on smaller aircraft, and park the larger aircraft.
There’s only a tiny number of EK 388s flying. When it stops making sense for them, they’ll stop.
