I think one of the differentiations that needs to be made too is destination type. What I think Hamilton is great for is budget-conscious vacationers. There's a reason Swoop's US expansion has primarily focused on places like Florida and Las Vegas, and a big reason why the majority of Canadians who use Buffalo Niagara are going to those same places.
Yes, if you're planning a trip from Timmins to Hong Kong you'd likely need to fly through Pearson, but if you're planning a trip from Oakville to Orlando there's no reason why you should have to go anywhere near Pearson in order to complete that trip.
Pickering could conceivably fill that same function, only with a different carrier (Swoop likely wouldn't operate out of both).
As an aside, the biggest destination I'm waiting for Swoop to expand to is anywhere in SoCal that isn't LAX. There's plenty of secondary airports to choose from, all of which would be a welcome addition.
