Not sure how the hard product on OS beats UA. OS J on 777 is 50cm width while UA Polaris on 787 is 52cm width. Also OS is even more densely configured and not all seats are aisle access.
As for OP, the issue with the NH 77W is that they only have 9 out 15 with new seats and the main routes that fly them, TYO-JFK/FRA/LHR, already takes up 8 aircraft. I don't even think NH has fully dedicated routes with the new seats. NRT-SFO has 77W scheduled through 29OCT22 and seat map shows old J seatmap.
