Why? The all stop AE expresses are not much slower between the CBDs of each city than the shuttles.

I just replied to Olog that that 20 to 30 minutes difference is exactly at the line where you can be competitive or not. I've seen that going on in Japan.

I think that has a lot to do with the condition of the Infrastructure, not the trains themselves.

According to Olog, it's not the infrastructure but the AE themselves and the FRA. He may be right. I can't say for sure.

Although, the AE is technically a 'coach hauled train', no?

I see it more as an EMU since the loco and coaches are custom made for each other, like the early TGV, but you can say that as well.
