On the German side we find Nuremberg and Munich at quite a distance, with only local railway lines leading there. On the Czech side there is a railway line from Pilsen to Prague, but you still have to take local transport in Prague to get to the airport. In the north you find Dresden close to the border but in the south there is nothing. There just aren't any airports in this region, and public transport is lacking. Specially on the Czech side of the border, on the German side it's doable but still far from perfect.

It has flights to all four large hubs you mentioned, it's a fairly large airport. Larger than FKB or SXB. Besides, don't forget Germany's excellent high speed rail network and Lufthansa's interline agreement with Deutsche Bahn.
