Nope, it was just bad planning and bad range operations.
Tupolev made 17 or so planes, with a few dramatic design changes. Considering the resources they had, they put together a pretty good plane, however, it had terrible range, and the passenger cabin was deafening, and the fuel economics killed it for good. The US, smartly, killed the Boeing SST before it became a cash monster.
Boeing didn't kill it; Congress killed it. And that was well before the OPEC oil embargoes that followed the Yom Kippur war in 1973 which made the SST uneconomic.
