Because it turned out that no one really needs to get between the UK and the US that quickly. If they do need to get between the UK and the US they're prepared to pay less for it to take longer because the price difference is substantial.

Not only nobody needs to do that trip that fast, but we're not in the early 00's anymore, and there has never been as many tools to communicate and collaborate remotely. So I'd expect a non-negligible part of these don't even need to do the trip anymore if they want to save money and time.
