why can some airlines stop over a country and then continue on another country? Wouldn’t the airline “steal” a share of the passengers from the host country?

​

example: KLM goes from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur and then it continues to Jakarta.

There are often agreements between several airlines and countries allowing this.
The stopover Country gets money from landing fees, refueling may be required, so it is a win.
