Probably one or both of two reasons:
a. The flight wasn't making money.
b. Possibly diluting TTN-DTW sales/yields for the many that live in between both TTN and ILG. ILG-DTW operated in the afternoon similar to TTN-DTW and it was flown on days also when TTN-DTW was flown -kinda dumb but that's how Frontier scheduled it, although TTN-DTW was flown on more days. For DTW, the schedule and overlaps to TTN probably has more effect than routes for MCO or TPA as DTW was probably more VFR bound and not leisure bound.
