It's too small for a commercial flight. A commercial flight needs to carry enough people to be cheaper than a private flight. With the exception of exceptionally long flights, private flights can match the total travel time of a commercial flight on a much faster plane because they can can match the passengers' preferred start and end locations and the passengers' preferred schedule much more closely than a commercial flight can.

Make a supersonic aircraft too big and you risk not being able to find enough passengers willing to pay fares that make it viable - which is one of the issues that killed Concorde.
