No self-respecting individual will fly RyanAir, hardly competition. They've been flying from Stockholm Skavsta for years and it hardly impacted SAS. Surely they didn't lose any business travellers over it.

If Easyjet have made the LCC model out of CPH work, Ryanair will have absolutely no problems!
I'm also sure there are plenty of Danes who would love to see people that expect they can fly for 149dkk no longer aboard real airlines.

Regardless of their "unique" routes being useless as the airports are usually secondary in the middle of nowhere. I'm more worried about having 3 LCC carriers trying to support a business from CPH, the local market simply can't support it.
