Seriously, it's incredibly convenient for people living in the District or Arlington—it serves a

Like me!
The airport isn't federally-owned any more, and hasn't been since 1987 - before the new terminal was built. (Perhaps the historic terminal was federal largesse -- but hey, that was during the Great Dpression.).
It's paid for just like all the others.
