I think that you are correct, David. I've seen winglets on 767-300ER's of Air New Zealand, American Airlines, Delta, Hawaiian, Condor & all of these airlines have 7-10 hr sectors that will be more efficiently operated with winglets.

Its a waste of time for the current passenger fleet given cost, 4 week installation timeframe to save 5%, especially given the lower hours the fleet are running, different story for the freighter.
