Yeah I get that, except for when you add in commuter policy rules, weather events etc it becomes less cut and dry. I used to drive 25 min to the airport and catch a sub 1 hour flight to base however I often found myself sitting at my base hours before my day even started. Impossible, no obviously not, but I now drive 25 min and start work. I would take the shorter drive over a flight any day but like you said, to each their own.
