1. F on the 777 is not really private if you are seated in Row 2. People from J are right behind the curtain and when it is not completely pulled in, you can see them and they can see you (and sometimes they walk in to use the restroom). No such issue on the A380 - there is a galley in between with separate curtains for J and F.
2. No difference in the loos between Y, J, or F on the 777. Your F experience ends the moment you step out of the suites. In stark contrast, the restroom on the A380 feels like a football field. That in my opinion is an integral part of the 'F' experience.
3. There are 14 F suites on the A380 and a lot of the times they are not fully occupied. So better service, and typically never run out of meal choices.
4. Bar/ social area at the back of J (with wine/ champagne service from F). Good way to get away from the confines of your suite when you want to stretch your legs on an ULH flight. Nowhere to go on the 777.
5. Overall the A380 is a quieter plane and due to its size less affected by turbulence, so overall a better flying experience irrespective of the class of seating. So that's another reason to choose the A380 over the 777.
These are all valid points but the comment was referring to the contrast between J and F on the a380 compared to the 777.

777 J is terrible so being in F on a 777 is a lot better of an upgrade compared to going from J to F on the a380.
