The problem was also connected to latency vs. bandwidth.
Since the Concorde was a luxury airliner, it couldn't fly as often as a regular airplane.
If you're in London and you find out you need to be in NY right now at all costs, it may be faster to hop on a business jet or even a commercial flight rather than wait for the next Concorde.
And as first class (and business jets) got comfortable, the need to get out of the air ASAP is much less than it used to be.
