You assume everyone with connections at CPH have lots of options. A small town in Denmark, for example, does not offer a lot of choices for "better" airlines.
Normal people don't fly CPH-ORD-SFO/LAX when CPH to SFO/LAX nonstop options exist. Your theory of ORD being all connecting pax is 100% false.
