The big reason for the A380 was a bet on hub and spoke models, your points above feed into that calculation. Boeing was also looking at something similar but decided that people would rather fly point-to-point rather than go hub to spoke. The 787 can land at almost any airport while the A380 can't. For capacity increase the 777-X will help fill that gap with a much better range than the A380.
