You can say that about every plane in the game. Why have all the diff types of spitfires, corsairs, and 109s if they all are basically the same plane? More is better in this case. If you dont like it, dont fly it.

No, you most certainly cannot say that about other aircraft in the game. If they add the Halifax then you could say it about the Lancaster and Halifax.
1) Adding variants of existing aircraft is very easy in comparison to a completely new aircraft, particularly when it is a very large four engined bomber.
2) All the Spitfires, F4Us and Bf109s have greater differences in terms of gameplay than do the B-29 and B-32 or the Lancaster and Halifax.
What part of "There is no functional difference, other than graphics, between the B-29 and the B-32 and the B-32 would take huge amounts of very finite developer time to add." do you not understand? By adding the B-32 that I can just not fly they have also not added, perhaps, the J2M3, Ki-44-II or Ju188A-1 that I would fly.
