Most all of the CVG flying is just CLT or DAY flying that was taken for some unknown reason. CVG as a base makes little sense with DAY so close. Hopefully they will close DAY and move everything to CVG, including all off the corporate operations. The old Comair buildings would be perfect.
It makes little sense to you because you only look at it from a Pilot's perspective. There is a bigger picture, like where do the aircraft get worked on over night is just another part of the picture.
