There is another aspect of this which some younger people miss. A hub city means a dual professional couple can both find long term career paths in the same place. That’s much harder to do in a non-hub city. Top talent tends to marry top talent as per assortive mating.

endless list of reasons hub cities are good for business;

people want to live and work there. especially young people

as you said, couple's can more likely both find jobs, even if they work in vastly different sectors

talent pool is larger

many other businesses (potential customers) are there
