I think the logic is "build it and they will come" but the airport has to grow first. It'll be a very, very, very long time before there is any sort of rail connection to the airport. Pearson only got the Union Pearson Express in 2015. I think we'll all be old and/or dead by the time YKF sees an LRT connecting it.
I think that UPX took so long to appear has more to do with the North American love of the automobile and dislike of sane public transit systems, rather than Pearson's volume of use. Where as for YKF, the issue there really is its volume of use.
"Build and they will come" is true, but is a lot easier to use as a justification for something that can be built incrementally, like bike lanes. We can't really build rail service to YKF incrementally. :-(
