Laws of physics also doom it to some extent. Almost no country will allow them to fly supersonic over land due to the loud sonic boom, so you’re very limited to what kind of routes you can fly. There’s progress in aerodynamics that will reduce it but it probably won’t make it to any commercial supersonic jets for a long while.
