I don’t disagree but from my understanding the affected areas were O Hare, Newark and a couple other airports. Those are extremely large airports and have flights coming from all over the country. I think they were trying to mitigate any new flights flying over their airpspace without having comms so they grounded everyone.
It was air traffic centers that were affected, not specific airports. All centers were listed as affecred initially, but there were some reports that a couple were still operating. The US has 22 centers in total, around the busiest regions
