Being a transit hub is irrelevant if the people in transit do not mix with those out of transit.

Keep the (potentially) sick people on the "air side" of the airport terminal and then directly into quarantines on arrive at the final destination.

Those who bridge this gap (air crews, terminal staff) need to follow very strict measures (PPE, cleaning, regular testing) to make that work.

Perhaps more places need to decide they don't want to be a major transit hub during this pandemic? You know, restrict non-essential traffic a bit to make the essential traffic and local populace safer?

Well, if your country isn't a transit hub, then you avoid hub problems completely. If you are a hub, then you have additional problems that New Zealand doesn't, that you have to work to mitigate.
