Sorry, how would JFK-SYD non-stop be a great alternative to LHR-BKK-SYD?

Of course there's always
a market. The question I posed was whether the JFK-SYD market is big enough to support a non-stop 777 service.
YVR-SYD may be busy but it's not particularly profitable, as I understand it. And it's not non-stop, which makes the analogy unclear.
