When comes to the US, normal travelers don't stop at ORD when their final destinations is another 4 hours+ of flying time to the west coast. People will take a west coast long haul nearly always.
I’ll throw oil on the fire and say Aarhus does have the shuttles to BLL which is very well connected already. AAR had one season of KL which was silently discontinued, I wonder if it might make a comeback under the new partnership.

And yes sorry I know it was one example amongst many.
