Southwest adding service to O'Hare

Southwest Airlines will be flying to ORD (and IAH). They say no planned changes at MDW.
Currently Delta is the only airline that flies to both MDW and ORD. No airlines with a hub at either airport fly to the other, to simplify connections.

More news today, beginning 2/14/2021, Southwest will fly to more cities from O'Hare:
Baltimore; Nashville, Tennessee; Dallas Love Field; Denver; and Phoenix.
Southwest claims to be running out of room at MDW. I wonder where it will
find room at ORD post-pandemic?
USA Today: Southwest announces routes, deals for new Chicago, Colorado Springs flights

With the new T2 I think there will be a net increase in gates and certainly *A and OW will not want any T5 gates.
I live closer to MDW and fly to DAL a lot, so this is a net negative for me, I think, since they are likely to decrease MDW-DAL frequencies if they are also flying MDW-IAH and ORD-DAL.
