I have family in Australia, and visit them without supersonic flight.
Going from weeks to a day - not to mention cheaper - makes a whole lot of sense. Going from a day to half a day at a higher price and likely a less cushy aircraft does not.
Additionally, the fact that Australia is a day away and Europe is half a day away is a major factor in why I have visited Europe a number of times and never been to Aus/NZ. I am almost certainly not the only person like this.

With things like airport security, weather delays, ground stops, etc., is going down to 3h worth several times the cost?
The Concorde found the answer is largely "not really".
