I think BuildingScout nailed it. People simply aren't aware of YKF as an option. I flew YKF-ORD-SFO last year, and of the ~30 people I told about my trip 28 were surprised I could fly from Waterloo. Many people living in KW didn't even know we had an airport with commercial service, much less had any idea where it flew to. Everyone I talked to in Toronto was shocked that YKF existed, even the ones that hate Pearson due to its size and would happily drive to YKF.
