A hub does not mean expensive fares, it's competition. LAX for example is an AA hub, but there is a lot of competition so the fares are cheap. Fares are expensive only if one carrier has a monopoly on the route.
I'm fine with AA's SFO service. Also, SJC has early and late night flights for connections so sometimes I make my way down there. I've also flown SFO-LAX-SAN many times. AA does try to compete on this route because often they match the fares of its competitors. The only hole is SFO-SNA.
