don't worry as long as Boeing keeps screwing up, they will be sold
This is another indication that the Passenger market is change. The Heavy-handed silliness of Gov handing out mandates is not helping the resistance of passengers to fly. Maybe a pure cargo version is the answer to moving this size of Airliner into the Freight market. Maybe over the Short term I think you going to see a shift to shorter routes and smaller airfields. this means that The Boeing 737 size Airliner will flourish will the Airlines begin to make the trans to Freight where size of the Aircraft is important. The Issue of passengers; Business is not going to fly in large numbers and passengers due to lockdown/Don't Travel/Masks and Vax requirement from Tyrannical Governments will not choice to fly.
For the A330neo, like many airliner types, the market has moved away from the shorter “shrink” versions toward the longer higher-capacity “stretch” versions which have lower operating costs per seat:
A321neo sells like hotcakes, nobody wants the A319neo
A220-300 outsells the -100
Other than Southwest, little interest in the 737-7 MAX
Etc.
Also, the biggest potential market for A330-800, replacing the same-sized A330-200, hasn’t taken much interest, since the in-service A330-200 fleet is mostly too young to need replacement yet.

If the other guys have the same policy, I wonder what impact it would have on Boeing's fortunes?
