Good point.

if I’m understanding your explanation, it’s inaccurate.
lets say I’m flying
gsp-clt departing 0700
clt-lga departing 0900
i check in at 0600, 1 hour before departure
im still ahead of everyone originating in clt for the clt-lga flight. Even if they checked in 3 days ago and have rolled from flight to flight to flight because they were full
transfer pax are a fundamentally different category. It’s not just that they can check in earlier
