Absolutely true. The manufacturers and the airlines solicit the PR they can muster by claiming to have bedrooms and gyms on board but you can be darn sure that when that aircraft arrives it will contain little more than seats.

The 747-100’s had piano bars, etc. in their upper decks once upon a time (early 70’s perhaps?). Once an airline figured they could eliminate that in favor of more seats, everybody followed suit. Who is the only remaining airline today with a bar instead of more seats. Virgin Atlantic. Other than them, I don’t see anybody else putting casinos and hotels in their A380’s.
