who the **** values a small amount of extra comfort at that?

Someone who basically has unlimited money. Affordability becomes moot,
so they buy a flight like that just as you or I might be a bit peckish
and buy a chocolate bar without much thought.

Someone that rich certainly wouldn't want to travel in a
not-particularly-large business class seat along with up to 47
strangers

Nor would they be paying through the nose; about 2/3 the business class
fare. And no scheduled airline flies that route direct.
