I presume there always are people always flying in from overseas into one of the larger airports and catching a connecting flight domestically. It'll become annoying if they suddenly have to grab their bags, go to the train station and catch a connecting train.
Even if there are exceptions, the flights just might become unprofitable and go away.

But I suppose the majority of overseas travelers coming into France by air with the intention of connecting to a smaller city do so via Paris or Lyon. As European travelers seem to enter by car or go directly to their destination. At least that’s my impression from reading a few articles about tourism in France.
