Your argument is weak though you are correct in saying Miami/Chicago is better.
I would have supplemented it with BOS has plenty of convenient 1-stop service through AMS/LHR/CDG/FRA and coming soon IST.
YYZ allows for too much backtracking and there are a LOT of people who do not want to connect at either NYC airport.
Atlanta is not good for LY either. DL couldn't pull it off which means no other airline can.
Also replying to entropy, LY does interline with B6. You can book BOS-JFK-TLV via LY's website. Unfortunately, you are not going to magically fill a plane with connections in BOS from BUF/PIT/RIC (though DCA and FLL could help) and UA/DL will be competitively priced on 1-stop routes.
