It’s crazy how it’s still the same airlines that offer real business class almost 4 years later...

Correct. And even their narrow-bodies aren't typical European garbage

Not in all cases, they have narrow body with real J, and narrow body with fake J (really felt bad for this guy when he was with me on a fake J from IST to TLV).
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!
