The environmental aspect is pretty important! Wouldn't running
bendies generate less polution for the same passenger capacity than
using double-deckers?

Why?

When both are full theres a greater number of passengers per unit mass
of the vehicle on a bendy. Hence more efficient.

That's one aspect, I agree, but not the whole story.

What's the rest of the story?

Too much free travel?

And whether perceived or not, their ability to block junctions and
interrupt traffic flow (personally I've witnessed this several times but
have been told by the powers that be at TfL that I must have imagined it)
