That said, it really should be the airport building the station.

I completely agree with this. The target audience isn't the "Me and my 4 kids are going to an all inclusive for a week with 26 suitcases" its the "I'm in town for a business trip for 2 nights" and the "I'm heading with my wife directly from work downtown for a long weekend out of town"
I mentally sort places between those that do and don't have train transport to the airport, and I would definitely use that as cut-off for "world class city." Much more so than "my arena is newer/shinier."
