The redeye SFO-BOS service will depart at 9:30pm PT and land at 6:18am ET. I think it's normal to want to sleep at night.
As a point of comparison, BOS-LHR is also six hours, but no one questions the need for lie-flat seats on that route. Whether passengers are crossing an ocean or a continent not really affect their need for sleep.

I think for real transcons out of JFK/BOS to the west coast can make use out of a flatbed, not so much out of ATL/DTW.

Well this ORD-based DM would sell his soul for an ORD-BOS non-stop. ORD-LGA shuttle revolutionized my life and adding BOS (and DCA) out of ORD would result in me moving more biz over to DL.

AA always seems to have some IRROP every time I head to ORD - although its usually weather related, they're often compounded with other issues like crew timeouts. Once we were going to just barely take-off before a storm hit, but then we were delayed because they had to clean a blood stain on the wall of the lav, and ended up having to wait for the storm to pass.
That being said, I would be incredibly surprised to see DL enter BOS-ORD. There's already a ton of lift on that route between AA, UA, B6, and even NK. Off-peak times I frequently see the rt priced very low ($150-180ish).

Now, is there a NEED for it? That is debatable!

I would be very surprised too. Don't forget about WN at MDW.
