Because not everyone books these fares as a mileage run. Here is a number of valid reasons to book and fly to the closer destinations:

1. You live at or close to these destinations.
2. You have family or friends who live at or close to these destinations, and you want to visit them (Bear in mind that not everyone on FT lives in the US or even North America. There are plenty of us who reside in Asia).
3. You want to go on holidays / vacations to these destinations.
4. You have business in or close to these destinations.

I’m sure there are more good reasons that I can think of right now...
