In addition to the sonic boom issue it was also cost. It cost a stupidly high amount in fuel to fly. The engines were horribly inefficient.
Not only that the low capacity meant that tickets would have to be orders of magnitude higher than even first class in any other commercial jet.
It's why I cant see Boom doing what people are assuming they'll do and make a commercial airliner. Unless you fancy spending $20k for a one way trip from JFK to LHR it's not really viable.
