There are fewer viable spots to put evacuation doors than a conventional tube. The greater internal space means a lot more potential redundancy and width and not necessarily more distance for evacuation routes, but traditional airline economics means packing it with seats.

That doesn't change the fact that there is space for more corridors. Airline economics depends on a lot of factors (like fast boarding), and being allowed to fly the plane is one of them. Satisfying that requirement to flying is patently possible, but unless you have some non-public data, none of us can tell if it's profitable.
