Why are flights between major airports cheaper than to/from a smaller airport?

With all else being roughly equal: direct flight, similar distance, same airline.

Yeah the supply is greater at major airports (in the form of more gates), but so is the demand. I’m struggling to see why that doesn’t balance out.

The planes will be bigger between main centres meaning they can fit more people. Also, more competition between airlines.
