B6 doesn't sell tickets from SJC-LGB via JFK, so there would never be that big of a fare difference. Also, usually if there's an option to connect somewhere as opposed to flying direct, there's often in increase in price as well, which would often eliminate the savings that hidden city ticketing would provide.
