(I kid, but by and large, I do like the new design, and find it functionally very similar to the old one. My main complaint is actually that it's hard to get to the My Wallet account details section now, but I assume that part of the site will be reworked/improved in a future phase.)
Yes I frequently run into this as well - I notice it auto-populates with BFI if I'm at home or have my work computer connected to the wifi in the building here actually at BFI. We do see DL charters here for the sports team coming in to BFI to play the Mariners or Seahawks at least.
When I've been in Michigan visiting family, I've had it default to "PTK" (Pontiac/Oakland County Int'l). I get defaulting but as you note, one would think it would default to the nearest airport with DL service, not just the nearest airport.
As a side note, through this feature, I've been able to tell what Air Force base our government network is running through. I've seen it default to "ABQ" before, telling me my network is going through Kirtland AFB and I've seen "MGM" before, telling me it's going through Maxwell AFB.
