There really shouldn't need to be a huge demand for hub to hub flights. Outside of ATL the other hubs only have a handful of unique cities only served by that hub.
Or from DTW to MSP, or from DTW to a city served by MSP but not DTW, or from a city served from DTW but not MSP to MSP.

Yes, there are a lot.
