I've always thought it should be treated as an Oxford Tube style service
Wouldn't necessarily have to be as large a vehicle as that or even brand new but it would certainly do a better job than B9's imo

I have wondered that too, but the only logical conclusion is the value for money they get from the vehicle over the lifetime.
If GNE ordered a handful of those for the X9/X10, where would they end up when they are cascaded amongst the fleet at the end of their TTX life?
Can you imagine one of those working a 24 around Harlow Green?
