JetBlue was forced to replace its E190 fleet due to competition. ie: Competitors upgrading to A220's and losing market share. A side effect was bigger aircraft and lower running costs.
If you put the same analogy into Australian skies, QQ don't really have any major competition in their market so with that in mind there is no need to over capitalise these planes. I expect that they will do the minimum to create a safe, reliable service as per their lease contracts.
